Jose,

What you wrote sounds familiar to experiences I had with Pictview.

The problem I had was not FreeDOS related but something was odd about Pictview not finding the file. I tried relative paths, absolute paths and etc.

I think eventually I just started Pictview and used the interface.

The problem is I'm not remembering with any certainty.

If someone wants some testing about this behavior I'll offer to test and report what I come up with. Maybe we can figure it out together.

The one thing I am certain about is that my Pictview experience was not with FreeDOS.

I downloaded version 1.94 of Pictview from pictview.com site (saw this link on
a message about .png viewers for DOS Arkady posted on this list some time ago).
In the initial testing,I found that it works OK under DRDOS,but
not under FreeDOS kernel 2035. The conditions under which I did the tests
were:
1) Plain DOS (NOT DOS-under-something)
2) A ramdisk as current directory (XMSDSK as drive G:)
3) Using Pictview from command line
Under FreeDOS,if the file to be viewed is in other drive and I enter,for
example, PICTVIEW C:\FILENAME.JPG
it exits with a "No files found" message (the file,of course,exists).
If the file is in the same G: drive and I type
PICTVIEW FILENAME.JPG
it exits with the message "Cannot open file MS-RAMDR.IVE" which is the
name of the ramdisk (why should it try to open the device driver,I cannot understand).
As I said,under DRDOS,all other things being equal.Pictview works OK.
I did not test under any earlier FreeDOS kernel.
