Such software utilities (graphics viewing, etc.) have a wonderful effect
of getting better over time due to applying all of the tricks learned
over the last 20 years. LXPIC is probably the best and one of the
fastest JPEG viewers around. I have even used it to view a JPEG on my
5150 in 640x200 CGA mode.
As a program, LXPIC is a work of art (written in ASM, supporting all
screen modes from CGA up to 2048x1536 True Color VESA, just a single COM
file, thumbnails, (auto)zoom, slideshow, video, dither, b&w, gray, color
manipulation...) all in 20K.
