PCX problematic?? I thought those were really simple (ignoring the optional RLE part). I also wouldn't exactly call PNG too simplistic myself, but at least we have ZLIB for it.

SEE (written in XPL0) can also show animated GIFs and is open source.

P.S. to DOS386:

A: Got one VS 2008 license, paid 2'000 $ , installed on my PC, and it filled 8 GiB of my HD !
B: Got 2000 FASM licenses + 2000 CC386 licenses , installed all on one PC, filled 8 GiB of my HD, and all for free !!!

You might want to change that now that Windows 7 is out:


"Windows 7 needs 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit) and 16 GB
available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

Windows XP Mode (available in Windows 7 Pro editions only) requires an
additional 1 GB of RAM, an additional 15 GB of available hard disk space,
and a processor capable of hardware virtualization with Intel VT or AMD-V
turned on"
