General Information / README

     NAME
          xv - interactive image display for the X Window System

     SYNTAX
          xv [options] [filename[filename...]]

     DESCRIPTION
          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.

          The documentation for XV is now distributed only as a
          PostScript file, as it has gotten enormous, and is no longer
          very well suited to the 'man' page format.  Print a copy of
          the (100-ish page) manual found in docs/xvdocs.ps.  If you
          are unable to get the manual to print on your printer, you
          may purchase a printed copy of the XV manual.  Click on
          'About XV' in the program to get further information.

          If you don't have the PostScript file, it is part of the
          standard XV distribution, the latest version of which can be
          obtained via anonymous ftp from ftp.cis.upenn.edu in the
          directory pub/xv
