Hi, was quite surprized when master of 10^3 formats xv could not
handle xbm. Anyone have patches for such? Thanks, Andy (andy@autodesk.com)

hi,
 
don't you have PBMPlus ? if not: GET IT. it's great. viewing *.xbm
(and LOTS of other formats) is then simple:

            xbmtopbm <OurFile>.xbm | xv -nolimits -

the "trick" is, that xv can read from STDIN and the PBMPlus "xbmtopbm"
converts your data to a format, xv can read.

???
As far as I know, xv DOES support .xbm files!!
I just finished viewing a couple of hundred .xbm files with xv. The only
problem is that xv is a little picky about what is a valid .xbm file: No
comments are allowed, etc.

It would be nice if somebody had a patch to make xv less picky.
