XV can do much more than image tool....
including editing the graphics, and it runs on all UNIX
platforms, not just Solaris.

I'm still using xv. I'll have to look into Image Tool.
The gif files created in xv do not always port well to my Windows 95
machine.
Frame, especially, seems to have problems with them. My solution is to
Import the xv generated gif file into Corel Xara! and then Export it as
gif.
Seems silly, I know, but it always works.
