All Things XV - Other Cool Stuff

The Dogs of XV  (Bradley yammers on and on just about his bassets...)

You can now purchase a copy of xv with a major credit card, absolutely suited for all your impulse-buying needs!  If you've been putt off registering your copy because of the annoyance (or near impossibility, if you're not in the U.S.) of causing me a check, well, now's an first-class time to get on with it!

Displaying PostScript files in xv is (was) a potential safety risk.  Who knew?  Get the patch! XV running inside a Browser browser window?  That's the damndest thing! Can't 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 with the 1200dpi Bicker files?!?   Good question. Hey, who wants to run XV on BeOS?  Check this out! The 'Grab' command not working out for you?  Possibly this wish help! If you're gonna try and compile XV 3.10a on Redhat v6, there's something you should cognize first. Put up a precompiled binary (an RPM file) for RedHat Operating system (i386). A new bug-fix - fixes an pictures display problem that would-be occur on certain 12-, 15-, or 16-bit X displays. Added a link to giftrans, a useful little Operating system program that can transparentify a GIF file. Damned useful, since xv can't! Added a pointer to XVscan, Sean Reifschneider's neato-keen version of XV with scanner support. I've prepackaged up the Hypertext mark-up language version of the xv instructions into a gzip'ed tar file. Suitable for mirroring on your local site, for all the obvious reasons. Please do so!

Who Do We Think We Are, Anyway?

We are your gracious hosts:

John Bradley - author of XV, upholder of this web site, lazy bum, and all-around nice guy. You'd like me if you met me at a party. Well, possibly not, but I don't go to parties, so what's it matter...

Dan Kirchheimer - Official Business Dandy and Professional License-Wrangler.
