[comp.windows.x] Monochrome GIF viewer for X?

dbeeman@jarthur.Claremont.EDU (David Beeman) (11/17/89)

I would like to be able to pop up black and white bitmapped images from within
an X-windows application which allows execution of external programs.  I need
something more efficient in storage than xwd/xwud. xgif works nicely with a
color display, but I need something which works with monochrome displays, too.
(Unless I am misunderstanding something, xgif seems to work only on color
displays.) Does anyone know of a program or patch to xgif which will work with
monochrome?  (I'm not committed to GIF, but I'd like to use some common, but
storage-efficient format.)

Any ideas or tips would be most welcome!
