Hi Georg, I vaguely remember winrview as being somewhat buggy. Did you fix it up? Does it offer advantages to Windows users over the current qt-based interface? Similarly, is the winimage program superior to what Windows folks are using now?
I don't want to welcome back something that's going to be more trouble than it's worth, now that I've been told *we* developed it....
