	Hmm, on my Hades 060 I can use Imagecopy 4.2b2plus on an ext2 
	partition. It doesn't support very long filename however.
	I can load for instance "orinocodoras_e.jpg" but not 
	"orinocodoras_ei.jpg"

        As said in another posting Drag & Drop doesn't work (ext2fs). I 
	must load the picture by means of the file selector. I don't have 
	a minix partition right now but I recall me that D&D works when 
	the picture is on a minix.

	Papillon does like long file names. Let me see what I have.
	N:\trachydoras_paraguayensis.gif
	This picture throwed at Papillon 3.04 (located on an ext2fs) loads 
	without any hasle.
	N= ext2fs
