Sorry It took so long Sirbounty
I have checked your links
But I could not really find a way to display a PCX file. May be the following explanation will Help:

I need to display a pcx file (logo.pcx) from a Batch file something like

@echo off
display logo.pcx (for a few seconds)
:Begin
My codes
Hmm...for something like that, I think you'll have to find a suitable viewer(like Quick View) and then write your script like this (with PSKill from PSTools -http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pskill.shtml)

@echo off
Quickview logo.pcx
sleep 300
pskill Quickview
:Begin
::your code

Sorry It took so long.

The above solution seems to work, however pcxsho.exe is a trialware.
I would prefer something that I do not have to buy, just in case it does not work the way that would expect it to.
If there is any other solutions I am open for suggestion.

Thanks to Sirbounty and Beluga
