Issues

This article is most definitely written with resemblance to an advertisement. Phrases like "but can be viewed at no charge using the XVL..."; "Since then an estimated 2,000 companies have downloaded the viewer..."; and "XVL delivers very high compression rates with virtually no loss of accuracy of the data." Advertisements are not permitted per Wikipedia guidelines (See #5). Please do not remove this tag upon the article unless these statements have been fixed.

Additionally, Wikipedia is not a list of external links. Do not provide links to articles advertising this product unless they are viable references sources. Shields020 (talk) 21:14, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
