[1mDESCRIPTION[0m
       The  [4mxv[24m  program  displays images on workstations and terminals running
       the X Window System, Version 11.  Supported image formats include  PBM,
       PGM,  PPM,  X11  bitmap,  XWD, XPM, Utah Raster Toolkit RLE, PDS/VICAR,
       FITS, Sun Rasterfile, GIF, PCX, Targa/TGA, BMP, WBMP, IRIS  RGB,  Spec-
       trum SCREEN$, PM, and optionally PNG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, JP2, TIFF, Post-
       Script, PDF, G3 fax, MAG, PIC, MAKI (640x400), PI, and PIC2.

       Aside from the usage screen (available by typing 'xv -help' at the com-
       mand  line),  documentation  for  XV is now distributed [4monly[24m as a Post-
       Script (or PDF) 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 [4mdocs/xvdocs.ps[24m.  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  informa-
       tion.

       If  you  don't  [4mhave[24m the PostScript file, it is part of the standard XV
       distribution,  the  latest  version  of  which  can  be  obtained  from
       [4mhttp://www.trilon.com/xv/[24m  or  via anonymous ftp from [4mftp.cis.upenn.edu[0m
       in the directory pub/xv .

       This version has been patched with the XV Jumbo Patches, available from
       [4mhttp://pobox.com/~newt/greg_xv.html[24m.
