I need a freeware PES file viewer/printer in order to orginze my
mother's embroidery colection (close to 2.3GBs worth)...

It's not to possable using her computer at the shop since it's always
in use, and I can't install PES Designer 4.0.x here due to the requied
copy protection dongle (which is always in use at the shop). That
leaves me one choice, look for a free file viewer...

So far I've the only one I've found is "Magic View", and it deosn't
seem to be free anymore (dispite what some pages are saying).

I was curious, what a PES file might be. So I asked Google for
<PES freeware brother>. The first site popping up was this (which
might help you or at least could be a starting point for further
investigations):

Reality folded in on itself, and somewhere the following words from "B.

The program(s) won't accept a command line argument, so I can just
"double-click" an assotiated file to open. The "PESCopy" program does
look interesting though... But I'll keep looking.

<Shrug>. Use a scripting program like AutoIt:

Create a Script like this:

run,C:\\Programs\\PESView\\PesView.exe
WinWaitActive,PesView
send,!s%1%{ENTER}

then compile it using the Aut2Exe program. If you name the resulting
executable script PesV.exe you can open a file Test.pes by simply
executing:

PesV Test.pes

Of course you can associate *.pes files to PesV.exe. So double clicking
inside explorer should work.
