Actually, the file is called gs252386.zip; it contains 386-specific
files. Also present is gs252286.zip, which is for 286's. There is a
Windows version too, called gs252win.zip, which works under Windows, but
lacks much of a Windows interface. In any case, you must also retrieve
gs252ini.zip, which contains files required byall of the above. I've
found that I prefer using the 386 DOS version, even though I launch it
through Windows. It shows an entire slide on one screen, where as the
Windows version requires scrolling. The Windows version is also slower.
Either works, and both require command line execution commands.
All are free. They work fine for me to just what you want to do.
