[comp.org.usenix] FaceSaver data

rjshaw@ramius.ocf.llnl.gov (Robert Shaw) (09/10/90)

Hi Everyone.

I want to put my facesaver data into my root X window, but I'm not sure
of the precise format of the data, so that I can crack it into an X-type
bitmap.

I imagine that the data should just be broken into values of three bits
each, but there seems to be some extra bits somewhere...

Can someone explain the format ?

Thanx!

Try
	xloadimage -onroot facesaver

As an aside, for all those who replied to my posting about the face
saver
label-making program, I am about to make it available via anonymous
FTP.
Just cleaning up the code some.  More information to follow soon.
