Someone mentioned that there was/is an ftp site with simple function
to deal with Pixmap read from/write to files etc similar to those
inherent X functions to deal with bitmaps.
Couls someone point me to it, I seem to have lost my reference...
thanks in advance.

Here is an extract of the XPM README file:
XPM Version 3
WHAT IS XPM?
============
XPM (X PixMap) is a format for storing/retrieving X pixmaps to/from files.
Here is provided a library containing a set of three functions, similar to the
X bitmap functions as defined in the Xlib: XCreatePixmapFromData,
XReadPixmapFile and XWritePixmapFile for respectively including, reading and
writing this format.
This new version provides a C includable format, defaults for different types
of display: monochrome/color/grayscale, and symbol names for colors for
overriding default colors when creating the pixmap. In addition it provides a
structure for storing information while reading a file which is re-used while
writing. This way comments, default colors and symbol names aren't lost.
See the XPM Manual for more details.
HOW TO GET XPM?
