Display a Graphic from a Unix program on a Pc – how?
An interesting puzzle. I run character based compiled C-Programs in a Unix environment on PCs in a Window. I want to be able to call up and display in a separate window a picture of a product called by a Unix shell script from within my Unix program.
Ideally I would like to have a script that can call up a jpeg image held in a windows file and display it in a separate window from that of the Unix Program.
I can write elementary scripts but nothing fancy. The programing language that I use can call up a Unix script and pass parameters to it.
Can this be done and how?? Any ideas??
Thanks Barry Staples
