Hi - Does NIH Image run well on a Pentium? I use it all the time on a Mac, but I really want to be able to use it on a Pentium running either Windows 95 or NT.
    I like NIH Image, but I have found it to be quite a chore to find the documentation I need, especially when I'm writing my own macros. At this point, I wouldn't mind paying something for a good program that runs on a Pentium and is commercially supported.
