PS: I don't know about MrSID viewers on other platforms, sorry. :-(


Lizardtech has what it claims is a MrSID viewer for Linux at
http://www.lizardtech.com/download/dl_download.php?detail=geo_mrsiddecode&platform=lin
but it immediately dumps when I try running it.

Why in the world would they use a proprietary format?  Can't they
get good enough lossless compression with PNG or something?
