Kview is a utility that displays pictures. 
You can browse pictures in folders or view them in a slide show.
Kview automatically fits big images to the availabe viewing area.

Command line syntax: 
  KVIEW [slide_show_filename]

The suggested slide show file extension is ss.
Slide show, ss, files must be in the following format:
~Title goes here. Must start with a ~. 
~Zero or more lines of text to describe the slide show go next. Start each with a ~. 
picture1_filename picture1_description, e.g. P1010017.JPG Mary and Ken in the pool..
picture2_filename picture2_description
picture3_filename picture3_description
...

To create your own slide show CD, just burn the CD with the following:
  Kview.exe 
  autorun.inf - edit the file in this distribution with notepad to specifiy the name of the ss file to open.
  your ss file - may be in a folder, just make the autorun.inf file point to it.
  your picture files files - may be in a folder, the same folder the ss file is in.

Until I allow creation of ss files in Kview, I include make_ss.bat in this distribution.
This batch file can make a draft slide show file for Kview.
Run it in a folder that has jpg files that you want to turn into a slide show.
After running make_ss, edit the created file to enter your custom title & description info.
Syntax: make_ss filename
e.g. make_ss summer03.ss

To be implemented:
  option to display next slide every n seconds
  allow links to other slide shows via ssl files and ss links in a ss file
  be able to view txt and html files in a slide show
  allow blanks in filenames via quoted filenames
  allow edits to picture descriptions
  allow creation of ss files
  allow append of new jpg files to an existing ss file
  ignore blank lines in or at end of ss file
  fix error checking error at startup
