WHAT IS IT?

  XBM DataType is a picture datatype for displaying and saving XBM

  The following is an excerpt from the XBM specification.


                        XBM - X BitMap Format


  XBM is a native file format of The X Window System and is used for
  storing cursor and icon bitmaps that are used in the X GUI. XBM files
  are quite different in that they are actually C language source files
  that are created to be read by a C compiler rather than a graphical
  display program.

  XBM was created by the X Consortium as part of the X Window
  System. Refer to the /bitmaps directory of the X Window distribution
  for examples of XBM files.

    XBM).
  - Transparency support for web browsers, etc.
  - Preferences for background colour and foreground colour settings.
  - Compatible with IPrefs (no need for FastIPrefs).
  - Compatible with MultiView with stack size of 4096 bytes.
