PMView Support
PMView supports both new and old type GEM files. Old type files supported are either 1 bit/pixel black & white, 2..4 bit/pixel color (EGA color map),or 8 bit grayscale. New type files can be 1..8 bit/pixel grayscale or 24-bit color. Note that 24-bit color images require Ventura 4.0. If you're going to import the image into an earlier version of Ventura you must convert the image to black & white or grayscale before saving it.
