preferably one where you can opt for a window into a
large image, one that's bigger then the screen. I've
tried a few and they're all goofy. If I have to write
my own someone is going to pay...

I've used a few of them, but it's been so long since I've used them I
don't
recall whether they had that ability or not. CSHOW, DISP186, and QPEG15E3
come to mind. Which ones have you tried? Let me know offlist if you want
any of those.

I've used versions of LView since I had Win95, and in fact that old
Model A version still works really well on my XP.
Although I haven't used a DOS version of LView, mine has been so stable
and reliable across several Win OS platforms, that I feel safe in
suggesting you try the DOS version.
I found this link which will take you at least to the page, if not the
item. (It's called LView.zip on that web site, in case I copied the
link incorrectly.)
Good luck.

CShow and Lview were the viewers my friends swore by in the DOS days. I had
a Mac :)

There seem to be a number of good programs on Simtel,
but that one apparently doesn't *display* jpegs at all
- it wants an .lzh.
Anyway, I may have to resort to a Windoze solution. I
want a jpeg viewer where I can rip out chunks and save
them to another file (not separate files, but one big
file of all the chunks). There's a number of ways of
doing what I want I guess, but I'd much prefer a DOS
based solution regardless. I guess I should have been
more specific. I imagine I'd probably have to write
something, but I'm not thrilled at the prospect.

I suspect you're SoL there. A DOS-based art prog (Neopaint possibly, although
I don't know what its JPEG support was like) would do the job of visualisation
and letting you select image regions, but I doubt there was anything which
could save multiple regions to a single file (heck, I don't think JPEG will
support this anyway, although something like GIF or TIFF would do the job)
Google suggests that someone got Imagemagick working for DOS - but even though
that'd do the chopping up / saving a multi-image file, it wouldn't give you
the initial visualisation bit... (although you could use an art prog to chop
up to individual files I suppose, then use the Imagemagick suite to merge them
into a single file)
I imagine I'd probably have to write something,
but I'm not thrilled at
the prospect.
Heh - probably. :/

I completely missed the requirement of being able to rip out chunks and
save them somewhere. For that, if you have a 386 or higher, DISPLAY is
what you want. If you need a copy, email me off-list.

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.
