    About SLIDER

    Since the early days of the Commodore Amiga I have used slide show programs for cycling through images. On the my first PC I think I used a program called VPIC that was DOS based and pretty cool. Since then I had not really been able to find a straight slide show program without the bells and whistles of image manipulation and extras like music.

    SLIDER allows you to select image files from your hard drive directories and display them fullscreen. The program includes options for setting the time for displaying each image or for fitting the image to the screen size. The slide show can run indefinately or until the user presses the ESC key. The user can also cycle through the images by pressing the RIGHT ARROW or LEFT ARROW key.

    FREEWARE :- Freeware is software you can download, pass around, and distribute without payment. However, it's still copyrighted, so you can't turn around and decompile it or sell it as your own (as you can with a public domain program).
