Enjoy! All Things XV - Other Cool Stuff

The Dogs of XV (Bradley yammers on and on about his bassets...) You are able to immediately buy a reproduction of xv with a major credit card, perfectly suited for all your impulse-buying needs! If you have been putting off registering your version for the reason that of the annoyance (or near impossibility, if you aren't in the U.S.) of sending me a check, well, immediately's an excellent time to gain on with it!

Displaying PostScript files in xv is (was) a potential security risk. Who knew? Get the patch!

XV running inside a Netscape browser window? That is the damndest thing!

Cannot display 32-bit BMP files generated by certain programs? Suck on this!

Added a pointer to an updated version of the PNG patches.

What the hell is amongst 1200dpi TIFF files?!? Great question.

Hey, who desires to run XV on BeOS? Check this out!

The 'Grab' command not working out for you? Maybe this is promised to help!

If you are gonna attempt and compile XV 3.10a on Redhat v6, there is something you ought to know first.

Put up a precompiled binary (an RPM file) for RedHat Linux (i386).

A new bug-fix - fixes an image display dilemma that would occur on certain 12-, 15-, or 16-bit X displays.

Added a link to giftrans, a helpful little Unix system which could transparentify a GIF file. Damned helpful, since xv cannot!

Added a pointer to XVscan, Sean Reifschneider's neato-keen version of XV with scanner support.

I have packaged up the HTML version of the xv guide into a gzip'ed tar file. Suitable for mirroring on your local site, for all the obvious reasons. Please do so!
