Specifically what can lxpic do that xli (in BL3) cannot do?
And what about xv (which also runs on BL3) -- is lxpic better
than xv?

Do they display with higher quality than xli?  xv?

How does it compare to xli?  xv?

mplayer does video and it runs in BL3.  

I realize that you guys have old DOS programs that you 
really like; however, since this is a BasicLinux discussion 
group, it would be nice to relate things to BL3.
