CD Display
The Windows Image Viewer 'CDisplay' was written to ease the viewing of images in JPEG, PNG and static GIF format. This was partly down to the existing programs currently available being too general purpose and thus awkward to use when simply wanting to view images sequentially.
It was written using Borland C++ Builder 5.0 and has been tested under Windows 98, NT 4, 2000 and XP Tablet. Loads JPEG, PNG and static GIF images which are automatically ordered and presented for viewing one at a time or two at a time.
The images may be in a zip (cbz), rar (cbr), ace or tar archive file - no need to decompress before reading.

Comic books are serialized stories chock-full of dynamic artwork and engrossing stories. Enthusiasts enjoy following the continuing adventures of their favorite titles, and some savvy collectors even turn a profit buying and selling sought-after issues. However, comic books--especially older issues printed on newsprint--are highly susceptible to damage. It's important to keep your comic book collection organized, protected and easily accessible--whether you plan to sell it someday or simply like to re-read your comics on a regular basis.
