Timothy,
Have you solved your Panorama problem yet?
You have listed the pieces you need to make an external application
work. Does the entry in your Panorama setup file have the full path for
your application, which should be on your local hard drive?
When we had to launch an external viewer to display TIFF images, we
used the following entry in the setup file:
ENTITY TIFF
LAUNCH "c:\docuview\docuview.exe \file"
