It was in a while back (slink, maybe?) but removed, because, although it is (was?) a popular tool, including it in Debian would be illegal. You can download and install it free of charge for personal use from John Bradley directly, see http://www.trilon.com/xv/ Personally, I prefer any number of Free tools available in Debian. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.
