Looking for name for whatchamacallit.

What is the technical name for the type of a small program that is sent along with a file such as a PowerPoint slide-show presentation so that the recipient can view the slide-show even if they don't have Power Point installed on their computer?

Thanks,
Ric

Hi Ric - for Powerpoint, it's called Powerpoint Viewer (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7C404E8E-5513-46C4-AA4F-058A84A37DF1&displaylang=EN).
