Does anyone know whatever happened to 'zgv'? I have an ancient (kernel
2.2) system still running, and I have that plugged in to mailcap to
view images sent as email attachments, running mutt on a console. I've
tried to get it to run on a couple of newer distros without success;
can't recall if I tried it on my semi-populated and now I guess
woefully out-of-date LFS 6.3. 

If any encouragement to the CLI crowd, I run that old 2.2 kernel as my
main work machine (attorney and real estate agent), using emacs,
LaTeX, lynx, occasionally the old QuattroPro spreadsheet under dosemu,
with a plethora of strange little perl and C programs I have written.
Excursing into X is very seldom done. Except on a different machine at
home, when I go Gimping along, and then I use fluxbox. Once you get
your 'keys' file set up, you can leave the mouse sitting idle for long
stretches of time, which I think is a good thing.
