All can be found on the above 2 addresses. From personal usage, cannot see much
difference in quality (png is only slightly more "orange skinny", with a few dips) and
a 5 Kb PNG-file is the equivelant of an 8 Kb GIF-file. Not worth the mentioning for
the moment, is it. (Using QVP-Quick View Plus).
>From the above + article below left my further exploration on the PNG-format for what it was.
An at that time also, (now not so current) article on the Support/KB site, eg search
for PNG, had Microsoft announcing (tho, by now this article can well be outdated):
Q174946 - Unable to View .png Images with Internet Explorer 4.0
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 for Windows 95
SYMPTOMS
When you try to open a Portable Network Graphics (.png) file, you may receive
an Open With dialog box prompting you to chose a program with which to open the file.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur when there is no file association for .png files on your computer.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, install a program capable of displaying .png graphic files.
MORE INFORMATION
Internet Explorer does not include the functionality to view .png files.
