WHAT IS IT?

  The following is an excerpt from XBM specification.


                        XBM - X BitMap Format


  XBM is a native file format of The X Window System and is used for
  storing cursor and icon bitmaps that are used in the X GUI. XBM files
  are quite different in that they are actually C language source files
  that are created to be read by a C compiler rather than a graphical
  display program.

  XBM was created by the X Consortium as part of the X Window
  System. Refer to the /bitmaps directory of the X Window distribution
  for examples of XBM files.


  There is another XBM datatype included with AMS datatypes package by
  Commodore but after using recent versions of 'SetPatch' from Amiga Intl.
  it was producing corrupted images.
