Thanks for the help, Chris, but I really don't want to change this system.
I'm using Forte AGENT, and it has club records in it going back to the
early-mid 90s.
Membership numbered up to 12,000 in that period and there are many
records I
wish to keep in pristine condition, especially around the times when I
was an office
bearer. No, that part is non-negotiable. I know that often people
don't really know
what they want but this is different.
I simply need a graphics viewer I can call from within Agent. I had a
browse around
and will probably install a version of IrfanView. It's a really neat
little program, I've used
it before with Windows and there is little it can't do. It will work
under WINE.
Only if I can't find the EXE for the UBUNTU Image Viewer.
Does anyone know how to contact the developers? Canonical might know
the answer,
I'll contact them.
Again, thanks.
