viewing jpeg files

[philromano@attglobal.net]

Can anyone tell me what is a .pps image file and what can be used to open
it. My brother in law (commander of the 23rd fighter group "The Flying
Tigers") recently sent me some pictures of the past week at Pope AFB, NC.
The are shots of some of their preparations and defense. They would be very
interesting to see but are in this unknown (to me) format. I've replied to
him to give me suggestions for viewing them but as yet he has not responded.
I guess he might be a little busy......

If I can open them I'd be happy to share them with any interested parties. I
don't think he'd have sent me anything he didn't want me or anyone else to
see. Piano techs don't have quite that security clearance.

I leave in two hours for the airport. My flight to NYC and Steinway is at
3:00 p.m. I hope to learn a lot  this week but probably some of it won't be
about pianos.
