JPEG Viewer for SunOS 4.1.4 & OpenWin 3

  The overwhelming responce was XV, version 3.0. I have not downloaded

it to try, but I will get it sometime today.

  Comments:

 ...The "xv" program from ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/xv is great...

 ...XV 3.10 at ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu:/pub/xv/xv* is the best for this.

 ...lets you view jpg, gif, xwd, tiff and a load of other formats,

 ...ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/xv/xv-3.10a.tar.gz

  Use xv! With it's VANTASTIC Visual Schnauzer to look at directories,

you can look at them as thumb-print sized listings! perfikto for

looking through those big piles of gif & jpegs.

John Bradley wrote a very nice program, and since he is such a great guy,

he even tells you how to update yourself within his program.

ftp on ftp.cis.upenn.edu

For ONLY $40 you get a manual and a FREE registered copy!

(That's cheaper than most stores will sell just the manual!)

If you want 3.5 tar'd copy, then send $15 for the media to

  An alternative:

  I would recommend ImageMagick. It's a bit of work to compile, as support

for various graphic file formats is not builtin but rather other freely

available graphic libraries are used. But once you have it up-and-running

you'll be V glad you put in the effort. Here's an excerpt from the

ImageMagick README:

Another suggestion is xv which is also availble on the net.
