I'm writing a utility to convert XPM files to PPM files. I have the line #define noname_chars_per_pixel 2 in the file, but can't find anywhere where it is actually explained. Does this describe the number of characters I should expect for each color in the color descriptions? If not, what is it? I have some XPM files with this line and 12 character color descriptions, but programs like xloadimage(1) ae happy with it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ken Hughes (hughes@sol.csee.usf.edu) | "Which button do I press, J.D.?"

But, it now exists a new version of XPM (which is fully documented) and it would be better to write your converter for this rather than XPM1.
