I tried something called showgif that showed up hereabouts, a CGA viewer.
It went loony; I think it's writing to some wrong memory, or never getting
to the point of switching video buffers, or something, but I'm just guessing.

Anybody get a working copy?  How big was the .arc file?  And what WAS that
wierd stuff at the beginning of the uuencoded file?  (Maybe that wasn't quite
uuencoding????)
