I'd be happy to hear sugestions. Requiremnets are.

1. Interactive, load -> display -> save cycle/
2. Ability to hanle large qty of files (thousands) without core dumpimg.

I've looked at several, and none of them seem to offer the ease of use, and
power of xv. I do not edit the images, just sort through large quantitys,
sorting them inot various directories.

Turns out just copying the executbale workd. But I need to figure out how
to cimpile it, since it is apparent that Debian is not going to offer this
package, and I have not found a replacement.

Thanks for the hlp.
