He's got a web-site at http://www.trilon.com/xv, which include a downloadable tar.gz file for xv-3.10a (the latest version I've been able to find). The downloads page is at http://www.trilon.com/xv/downloads.html and includes patches for various things at the bottom. I grabbed a copy, built & installed it on FC5... it's the same XV from previous releases. BTW: For whatever reason, Bradley isn't using one of the common open-source licenses, instead it's an odd-ball "shareware" license, but free for "personal use." Restrictions exist, see the license in xv-3.10a/README after you unpack the tar.gz file for further info. Hope this helps'idly, -S
