During an upload of software the program halted and hasn't responded
since. Adobe tells me they no longer support 7.0 and looking on their
site is an overabundance of options NOT in reasonable price range for
what I'm after. One photoshop program is priced at almost $650.00.
All that I'm looking for is decoding the JPG files on the alt.binaries
newsgroups and others buried in posts. Using Windows XP for home for
info. What programs do others find viable?

If all you are doing is viewing files, there should be plenty of free
viewers out there. Including within XP. If you need to update, then do that.

Unless I'm misunderstanding the question, whatever browser (IE,
FireFox, Mozilla) you're using should be able to open most standard
images (JPG, PNG, GIF, etc)

I use ACDsee. It supports about every type of picutre file.

You're using Agent 4.1. That decodes JPG files including yEnc fine. I fail
to see what your problem is.

If all you're doing is viewing jpgs, Irfanview is a great program, and
free.

If you are looking for something comparable to Adobe Photoshop, then an
inexpensive alternative is Corel Paint Shop Pro which is less than $100. It
has most of the editing capabilities (filetypes, layers, plugins) that
Photoshop supports. I use Photoshop at work but wasn't willing to spend
that kind of cash at home and have been quite happy with Paint Shop Pro.

Firehand Ember. I have that, and it used to be free, but I haven't
checked in a long time.

One other possible alternative is Photoshop Elements. It's a pretty
nice subset of Photoshop. If you're willing to spend money and
continue with the commands you already know.
