CDisplay


CDisplay is a freeware Comic book archive viewer and sequential image viewer utility for Microsoft Windows used to view images one at a time in the style of a comic book. It popularized the comic book archive file format. CDisplay was written to easily view JPEG, PNG and static GIF format images sequentially. The program was designed to be less general purpose than existing image viewer programs, and more convenient for simply viewing images sequentially.

Features

CDisplay supports Comic Book Archive files, archives of individual page images with the extension .cbr, .cbz, .cbt, or .cba; they are simply renamed RAR, ZIP, TAR, or ACE archive files.The standard icon for all comic file types extension is a comic balloon. The format was made popular by CDisplay but is now used by many other programs designed for reading comics.
CDisplay supports the display of JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TXT, and also SFV files which confirm that the file is not corrupt, either directly or contained within archive files.
The program was compiled using Borland C++ Builder 5.0 and runs on 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows platforms from Windows 98 onwards.
The source code was not made available, and the program ceased to be maintained when the author died in 2003. However, independent software developer Henri Gourvest was inspired to recreate the program as CDisplay Ex and continued to support it until at least February 2019.
