Multipurpose utility for viewing and editing text and graphic files.
"You can create hotzones, text links or icons on your picture."

From site:
==============
With this program you can view, edit and save almost any file. The
program opens many types of text and graphic files. The program is
easy and convenient to use with its new way of navigating through
files and directories. It allows you to move through your system, or
across your network, with a few simple clicks of your mouse. This same
mouse action can also be used to view graphics.

The newest and most interesting feature of this version is the
hyperimage file (HIM). It is a textual file associated with an image.
The file contains the references to programs and documents. By one
click you can directly move from the current picture to another
picture, document or start any program. You can create hotzones, text
links or icons on your picture. You can construct long chains of the
references through files on your computer. You can create tens
analogues yours today's Desktop...

I tried t, but I still prefer Irfanview. I vaguely recall being dissatisfied
with Abracadabra, though I can't recall erxactly why (in any case Irfanview
survives,while Abracadabra is long gone and nearly forgotten
