I own PMView Pro 3.51 which I use often. However, I have a need to
also see *.WMF pictures.
(1) Does anyone know if PMView has been upgraded to do this?
(2) If not, does anyone know of an OS2 graphics view program that
will also view *.WMF pictures?

You can upgrade the registered version, albeit newer versions may be
less stable (sometimes a 100% CPU load, IIRC) than yours. Or more
stable.

The obvious http://www.pmview.com, a.o. its What's new-section.

PMView won't, AFAICT. WinOS/2-software and/or converters and/or
receiving already converted images may be a better and an easier
route. It looks like NConvert also won't convert all bloody Microsoft
file formats.

The obvious http://hobbes.nmsu.edu returns a few hits if you would
have searched for WMF over there...

Not in 3.78

Apache OpenOffice Draw (4.1.2)

Thankyou! For the idea of a direction to go . . .

I found out that DRAW in OpenOffice3.2 works for what I want. I like
the thumbnails of PMView. In OO Draw, I can go to INSERT and in a
directory in "Preview" mode go through the WMF files and see what they
look like without loading each one. This helps - thanks

Oops, should have ignored the OP. I didn't, so now I'll have to
mention that ...

... the Open-dialog, with its thumbnails, is the buggy bit. A 100% CPU
load can be "solved" by shutting down PMView and by opening the same
directory again.
