1They said it couldn't be done.  They said it never *would* be done.
2They smiled knowingly to themselves as each predicted release date
3inevitably passed by, unmarked by the emergence of a new version...

5Well, who asked them!  And who do they think they are, anyhow!?!

7Announcing the Exciting New Release of XV, Version 3.10!
8
9Finally, all the stuff you've been waiting for:  image cut & paste, pixel
10editing, text annotation (of a sort), nifty new algorithms, new image formats
11(Targa, XPM, FITS, XWD, IFF), improved schnauzing capabilities, a spiffy
12new 'pad' command, and whatnot.  Plenty of whatnot.
13
14Of course, we're particularly proud of our Exclusive 3-D Fish Technology.

16At the moment, you can get this decidedly 'fine' piece of software via
17anonymous ftp on the following sites:
18
19   Hostname			Directory
20   --------			---------
21   ftp.cis.upenn.edu:		pub/xv
22   ftp.upenn.edu:		data/bradley
23   ftp.duke.edu:		pub/archive/xv
24   gatekeeper.dec.com:		pub/graphics/xv
25
26The file is called 'xv-3.10.tar.gz' (or 'xv-3.10.tar.Z' if you don't have
27the 'gunzip' program).
28
29BTW, if any of you fine folks can get these files put up on one of the major
30ftp sites (wustl, gatekeeper, etc.) please do so, and let me know!
31
32Enjoy!
