Wow!  Never expected that kind of response.  Rather than answering all 
the mail, I will offer the following:

1.  xv for the Amiga runs under 1.3 or 2.0.  It needs LOTS of memory - my 
A3000 at work with 6 mb of ram is just barely enough.

2.  This is xv, running under AmigaDOS.  It displays Xwindows (it IS xv, 
after all...), not AmigaDOS windows.  Fully compatible with X11R4 display 
servers.  I have tested it against DECStations 5000's and VAXStations of 
various flavors, as well as MAC-X, eXcursions, and DecWindowsDOS.  

3.  It comes with the native ability to handle pbm, ppm, xbm, gif, pcx, 
and a bunch of other formats.  TIFF and JPEG are add-ons, which I am now 
(sporadically) working on.  I will eventually pick up IFF (of course!) 
capabilities.

If you are running an Amiga, you can BMS xv as bms:pub/xv.lzh from 
dejavu.spk.wa.us.

I hesitate to post to comp.binaries.x, since that group has been VERY 
quiet for a loooong time...  perhaps another group in the Amiga 
hiearchy...
