Fv: The Interactive FITS File Editor

fv is a software tool for viewing and editing any FITS format image or table. The latest version is 4.3, released March, 2006. fv has a graphical user interface written using Incr Tcl/Tk (version 3.2). The fv software distribution ships with everything you need to run fv. (i.e. you do not need Tcl/Tk already installed on your machine). fv currently runs on many Unix platforms, including Mac OSX/Darwin, SUN Solaris, Dec OSF, PC Linux and Mac Linux. A Windows version is also available. fv 4.3 is currently not available for Mac users who are not running OS X, so we continue to offer fv 3.0 for those users.
