You mentioned before that they are uncompressed... it wouldn't be too hard  
to write one (if I remember correctly, it has the palette settings, and  
you have to read from the file/PUT on the screen 1/2 a line at a time  
(there was a bug in OS9 with doing a full line at a time - can't remember  
if that is fixed in NitrOS9 or not). Also, Keving Darling wrote a quick  
viewer (that included animation and compression) that was very small and  
very fast, but you HAD to run it from a VDG screen. PIX or something like  
that? Can't remember.
