Somewhat OT: Genuinely Useful Software for MS-DOS computers.

Users of the HP LX palmtop computers (the oldest of which are on-topic) might be aware of LXPIC, which is a picture viewer for MS-DOS computers (XT/8086 and above). There is a new version of LXPIC available at http://peichl.hplx.net/lxpic.zip. The previous version was only 16KB in size while the new one is 19KB. Highly recommended. To quote from the doc file: "LxPic is a very small, powerful and fast DOS picture viewer. It has just 19 KB code and runs in 64 KB of memory on any 8086 compatible computer. It supports all screen modes from early CGA up to the latest 2048x1536 QXGA True Color (32bit) screens. This makes LxPic ideal for use on the HP Palmtops, for which it was originally designed. On Windows systems, LxPic runs perfectly in a full screen DOS box or in a DOS box window. LxPic processes BMP, PCX, JPG and GIF files of any kind. BMP and PCX files may have 2, 4, 256 or True Colors (16 Mio). JPG files may have 256 gray scales or True Colors. GIF files may have Version 87a or 89a (including multi images) with up to 256 colors."
