Paint, CorelHouse, Microsoft Photo Editor, PictureViewer Application, Windows Picture And Fax Viewer... Any graphic program AFAIK that I have on my computer. A better question would be: "Can someone tell me what program I can't open a .pcx file with please?"

Any old paint program should do it - it's a picture file format.

Personally I use Icon forge for opening, then save in a different format.

just enter "download paint shareware" into google and see what you can find.

Sorry, can't post links - am on a heavily infested computer again.

AFAIK the MS Paint program on the Accessories folder only works in .BMP, no .JPG or other formats allowed... mind you I'm only running Win98 so maybe MS have updated this?

Thanks Asher.

Thought MS might have updated it - but wasn't sure what OS Andy_Man had.

How does that work? Wouldn't additional hardware be required?

Teledildonics interface. Still experimental - amazing what some people will do for a Master's degree.

What kind of bait is this, seeing as GIMP is available for free on Windows too?

If you're just wanting to view files, I suggest ACDSee as it can open any image format and some (like PSD) very quickly.

ACDSee

The Classic version is infinitely better.

Who needs ACDSee when there is Irfanview?

Irfanview isn't as good IMO. Though it is free IIRC.
