I have fetched the free demo copy of pcviewer.
It's 15 megabytes in size. (For the ksh script containing an embedded
uu encoded compressed file containing the actual package to install.)
It wants to install the truetype fonts on the X server.
It may want to install an X server patch. (We already have a later rev
of the patch it desires.)
It says that it installs it on top of CDE. But since we don't use CDE
at all, I don't know if it will work at all.
The overview claims support of many PC file formats, but I'm not
convinced it's worth the trouble.
Other opinions?
