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.
