Ooops.  Wrong header.  I'll try this again:


Last week, I found a cute little program called Noseguy.  Essentially,
Noseguy is a sprite, composed of a nose, army boots and a hat, that walks
around the screen espousing words of wisdom.  Regrettably, the program
was written in C for X-windows.

I would like to convert Noseguy from C into BASIC for the PC.  However, Noseguy
is built around bitmaps with hexadecimal arrays {0x00,0xff, ..., 0x00}.
I have figured out that each hexadecimal number, when converted to binary
form, represents on/off characteristics of 8 pixels, but I do not know
how to put the series of pixels together.  (Noseguy is comprised of 64 x 64
pixels; the hexadecimal array is comprised of 512 numbers).

Any suggestions on how to interpret and decipher bitmaps would be greatly
appreciated.
