[comp.windows.x] Xsetroot -rast option

robert@pttesac.UUCP (Robert Rodriguez) (09/18/88)

My thanks to the gentleman who posted the patch for xsetroot to read SUN
rasterfiles.  I had converted them all to bitmaps with the pbm package,
and xsetroot would take FOREVER to display them.

My question is this:  Is that feature/patch 'gonna be in release three ?
Should I keep all the fixes like this around just in case ?

Also, someone mentioned they received release 3 already, was that a typo ?!?!

Nope, sorry.

Probably a good idea.

Yes, it was a typo.  R3 hasn't finished cooking.
