9png -- See more PNG images in Plan 9


Note: The default Plan 9 png viewer now incorporates all the features 9png provides, and then some. It's also less buggy. All done by Aki Nyrhinen and Russ Cox
9png lets you view all those pesky png images that the other viewers can, and plan9's png can't. It's distributed in binary-only form, compiled using the latest available libpng (believe me, you don't want to see the source!).
Usage: 9png [-t] [file1.png ...]
The -t option causes 9png to dump the file on stdout as a Plan 9 image.
Download: 9png.
It comes at a whopping 681061 bytes uncompressed.
Aki Nyrhinen did the initial implementation, I taught it how to display the image on screen.
