zgv - 213K
ldd zgv - libvgagl libvga  libjpeg libpng libtiff libx libm libc ld-linux 

seejpeg - 99K
ldd seejpeg - libvga libm libc

Unfortunately seejpeg wont work on most of the newer video cards that I 
have, implying that libvga is not very up to date.

Clever.

Thanks, I would have wasted a lot of time experimenting.
Once I figure out why lynx won't work with straight BL1,
I will try to get some mail program working with lynx, with Doug's help.
He used me as a guinea pig for two DOS mail programs.

What parts of BL3 still need work?  Will there be a make-fd.bat?
If you have changed the last one we can try it out.


Unrelated, but I just got WORD 5.5 copied to one floppy disk, with generic 
printer driver, and it prints text fine and is overkill for the intended 
purpose.  We are setting up a friend with Opera (for Win98 ;=( ) and 
something with a spell checker that prints.  I have a version of PICO for 
DOS but the spellchecker is confusing.  This is the friend who has trouble 
distinguishing Network from Netscape.
