We just got some DEC3100 workstations running ultrix & they have
an installed appliaction dxpaint. In that program(similar to Macpaint)
you can select Save As. Then the user is given the option of
2 formats DDIF, which i'm told is DIGITAL Document Interface Format, and
X11.  What are these formats? Where can i find more about them. Is the
X11 merely a standard bitmap? I'm coding a draw/contour mapping
 program which we hope to install on the DEC and so I need to know
what type of files to save. Any help or directions to help would
be greatly appreciated!
