=>Do you know if I'll need to make any assigns when I install this datatype?
No, as this is handled automatically by the system Startup-Sequence at boot.
Anything in the DEVS: drawer is assigned (Monitor, Datatypes, DOSDrivers, etc).
When you add something new, to activate it you can do one of two things:
1. Reboot your machine so that the driver, datatype etc is activated alomg with
the rest, or
2. Double click on the new icon to load it into memory (and your system). Next
time you boot your machine it will be loaded automatically as long as it is in
the drawer.
=>or will MuliView find it in the Workbench:Devs/Datatypes drawer?
Multiview will find it as long as you have done one of the above methods. As
to a viewer program, I could suggest Viewtek. Excellent viewer which handles
more formats than just GIFs etc.
