This is a port of an X11 program called Xv (v3.10a) by John Bradley.
This is version 2.14.

man page info:
      The xv program displays images in the GIF, JPEG, TIFF, PBM, PGM, PPM,
      X11 bitmap, Utah Raster Toolkit RLE, PDS/VICAR, Sun Rasterfile, BMP,
      PCX, IRIS RGB, XPM, Targa, XWD, possibly PostScript, and PM formats on
      workstations and terminals running the X Window System, Version 11.

History: (or his_story..)
2.14
  The BestModeID didn't get the proper input.
  free attempted on argv[] entries.
  file requester didn't show up on correct screen.
  When using pubscreen images was forced into 8 bit mode and consequently
  images couldn't be saved as 24 bit.
 
2.13
  Didn't free much memory when doing different image size changing operations..
  Resizing when using a public screen wasn't any good..

2.12
  Changed/added the iff 8/24 bit saving.
  A reported iff loading bug fixed.

2.11
  Removed a couple of bugs..
  Added 'setenv X11/Displaydepth 8' if the program doesn't recognise that it
  is running on a gfx card and decides to use 5 bitplane screens instead..

This program uses MUI! So it is safe to assume that you should have it
installed before you try to run Xv! (2.2+ as found on aminet)
