Can confirm that I used on Unix (not Linux) in mid-90s at least. Late
90s I replaced it with feh, and only went back to xv for fast cropping
(open, crop, save, and quit is faster than gnu imp chugging through all the
plugins during startup.)

Last time I used it I noticed it performed poorly for my cropping needs.
In particular, for images larger than the screen, it would scale them
down to fit on the screen, crop *that* version and save the scaled
version when I wanted the unscaled one saved.
