Re: I have seen the light (and it is called xpm)

On 26 May, Edward Betts shouted:
->  I was reading the source to testgnome in gnome-libs when I came across this
->  parculier line of code:
->  
->  #include "bomb.xpm"
->  
->  I was a little taken aback, xpm is that not an image file format, and hence
->  binary data? lets find out
->  
->    $ less bomb.xpm
->  
->  Shock horror? Relisation. Followed by quiet ammusmement.
->  
->  I understand why raster dislikes them.

AHA:) Gald you have come to join those of the xpm-hating club. Now can

PNG! JPEG! any day!
