Jpeg viewer on SunOS 5.8

I was wondering what program can i use instead of mozilla to view a picture on a sun solaris system running SunOS 5.8.
To view a pic i'm currently doing it this way:
xterm -sb -fn screen-bold -g 60x30+0-0 -title '%s window - pls quit window upon completion ' -e mozilla file:///usr/sailing.JPG

Also instead of using xterm can i just call this program and select where on the screen i would like the picture to pop up using maybe some xy cordinates.
Thank you.

There's a bunch of third party apps that can do this for you. Xv is pretty good, as is imageview.

To have them pop up on a given display from the commandline, you don't need to run an xterm first.
Just make sure your DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly (alternativly, most X applications will accept a "-display <display:number>" flag instead.
To select where it should be displayed on the screen, select which display number via the -display flag (eg 0.0 0.1 etc). To select where on the given screen, most apps will accept a -geometry flag with four optional parameters:
Width
Height
X coord
Y coord

eg To display a 640x480 window 20 pixels from the left side of the screen and 30 pixels down on 'mydisplay':
Code:
xv -display myhost:0.0 -geometry 640x480+20+30 sailing.jpg

eg To display a 640x480 window 50 pixels in from the right side of the screen and 10 pixels from the bottom:
Code:
xv -display myhost:0.0 -geometry 640x480-50-10 sailing.jpg

I use xv. You can find it for Solaris 8 / SPARC here:
