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.
GT
