The exe file pvengine for windows95 works too.  Texture Magic is a great
program to dink around with textures.  Not only can you render them to see what
a quick example would be on multiple objects, but you can also look at the code
to see how they did a particular texture.  I haven't had time to fool around
with it yet (finals are getting close) but I plan on sitting down and comparing
two textures to see how to do some techniques.

Have fun!!
