I still use xv to print maps and various screenshots. I take a screenshot then xv filename then right click, print, greyscale, Max, Ok
It changes the colors to greyscale for my non-color laser printer, scales it perfectly to fit the 8.5x11" paper, and prints.
I remember in 1997 during the first Mars Pathfinder rover mission that NASA was basically doing a live screen sharing session from someone's desktop and they used "xv" to load the image. I was 27 but I grew up obsessed with space exploration. Well I still love it, but at the bottom it said "UNREGISTERED COPY" and people on Usenet were talking about how NASA didn't register their copy. I think they did later but I was just so excited to see xv on national television.
