Re: [MacPerl] off-topic xv

["Bill Becker"<wpb@jps.net>]

The last xv I used was release 3.10 and was obtainable in source and binary for
common platforms (AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, etc.) from U.Penn for essentially the
cost of an ftp. Unless the thing has regressed in recent years, I still say
they're equivalent. "xv" Makes fewer assumptions than GC, which makes one understand
more of the mechanics of image file manipulation.

I know of one individual who has even attempted to port it to OS/390 USS, I
don't know how she fared. But she is persistent enough to get it working...
