XV does use GIF87 but xv does not have a option to save in 87 or 89 it seems
to save in 89

My old blue notebook say that the xv tool lets you add text, change colors,
flip, rotate images, and is available from ftp.cis.upenn.edu in /pub/edu.
And that the xpaint tool lets you add lines and do shape editing. It is
available from
ftp.x.org/contrib/xpaint-2.1.1.tar.Z
I have not used them since I don't bother with backgrounds unless there is a
tour group coming through...

Guys, it says right in the NetView Administrator's Guide (page 4-2 in
hardcopy)
that the supported format for background GIFs is GIF87. You should be able
to
see this online with dtext, under "Adding or Removing a Background Graphic".
