  /terry/ I am currently installing Epoch 4.0p2 on a Sparc with SunOs
  /terry/ 4.1.1 and OpenWindows 3.  I would like to have epoch support
  /terry/ the "display of pixmaps as graphic zones in buffers"
  /terry/ (HAVE_GRAPHIC_ZONES).

  /terry/ Could someone please tell be what xpm.h and libXpm.a do, why
  /terry/ they aren't in the default OpenWindows distribution, and
  /terry/ where I could get a copy without pulling up the entire
  /terry/ X11R4/5 stuff?

(1) xpm.h and libXpm.h provide support for dealing with multicolor
    pixmap files within X.  (The only pixmap file format X deals with
    is for two-color bitmaps.)

(2) They aren't in the OpenWindows distribution because they aren't a
    part of X (or OpenLook or whatever) yet.

(3) The Xpm library can be found on export.lcs.mit.edu in
    /pub/R5untarred/contrib/lib/xpm.

Hope this helps,

Marc
