=The only documentation of XPM resides as a TeX file called xpm.tex which is
=part of the Xpm distribution (tar file) and its postscript version called
=xpm.ps both available on export.

The only minor complain of xpm is the lousy obscure font on xpm.ps which
hardly be read on a pre-viewer, especially for users who do not have
postcript printer and do not know about Tex.
Otherwise, Xpm is really a great program or library.

For a large image file, I would like to read/write in a binary form.
I try to figure out Pixmap format or something I can fwrite to
a file and fread in from a file.

I can not find the Pixmap definition in anywhere.
Is it a strucutre or a Char * or what?
