I tried to view these files directly from Netscape v.2.0 with no luck. I
know that [.gif] and [.jpg] graphics formats will read directly.
Perhaps with an additional 'plug-in' it's possible.   -Pete¶

 [ Pete,
 [    Thanks for the feedback. I had another subscriber mention
 [ that when hi retrieves these with Netscape that it starts
 [ the Microsoft Paint program.  There's a table of "MIME" types
 [ that can be edited.  I still have a lot of trouble with
 [ Mime Types using the Unix version of Netscape.  I don't (yet)
 [ know how to edit the Mime types file on Unix.  On the PC
 [ Netscape has a "dialog box" for adjusting these.  On Unix
 [ its harder theres a text file you have to edit by hand.  I've
 [ not yet found the documentation for the format of the file.  This
 [ evening I tried to download the Koala Bear from Kodak's Photo CD
 [ archive and Netscape tried to display it on my screen in Ascii.
 [ I was not amused.
 [
 [ I'm experimenting with a program that does image type conversion.
 [ I'll see if I can convert the .bmp files in the foxtail archive
 [ to .jpg format as an experiment.
