It seems that these .PNG images are being uses more and more lately on
the web. They normally load fine in a web browser, but if I save them,
and try to open them in a graphics editor, they either dont loadf at
all, or load and are all scrambled.

I dont have the latest graphic editing software (nor do I want it,
because most is too bloated).

There you go. The PNG (Portable Network Graphics) standard probably
debuted after your ancient software. Why is it used? Because unlike
GIF or JPEG it's not proprietary or patented, but open to be freely
used by all.
