After some one mentioned djvu here, I'm scaning some text pages using djvu format - which is not very easy: it is not supported by xsane or gimp. Thus, I have to save the file as "file.pnm", and then convert, using a command like this: c44 -crcbnone -slice 17+13+9+7+5+3+2+1 file.pnm There is no "gui", and the man pages are not very helpfull about what command line I should use. In windows, payware, there seems to be a nice program to do the conversion, optimization, whatever. In Linux, I have to do a long set of trial-error runs till I get the appropiate quality-size tradeoff. The advantage is that the output file is smaller that the jpg equivalent, and better result for the same size, specially when scanning text pages. Now, I want to send this files to some friends, and at least one of them uses windows (and it is his employer machine, so there is no question of installing linux, unfortunately). The questions is: what windows, free program, can I recomend him to view my files? The djvuview program for windows is a cygwin thing, meaning he would have to install cygwin, maybe complete (X an qt suport, at least). (I know, this is a Linux list: but I don't use windows, and I have to interact with some of them. I'm hopping some one here has walked this road before :-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
