Thanks for the Calvin and Hobbes bitmaps. However, it would nice if the poster told us who to view or use them. -- j |%|John Lawitzke, Dale Computer Corp., R&D |%|UUCP: uunet!mailrus!sharkey!dale1!jhl |%| or: uunet!frith!dale1!jhl Inquiring minds just wondering. |%|Internet: jhl@frith.egr.msu.edu

All the Calvin & Hobbes images were in X Bitmap format, which is a marvelously inefficient format (at least they were compressed :-). This format is recognized by the programs xloadimage and xv, and the PBM library. File in this format are also C include files, and can be included in C programs that communicate with X servers (or other appropriate graphics devices). All images were bitmaps (B/W), some used 4x4 dithering. Several of the files contained mail header information that had to be stripped out. The hobbes cursor file contained two files, and had to be split, but it was all pretty obvious (a plain text editor was sufficient for this work). Cheers, -Glenn- -- Glenn P.
