The X Window System is heavily (approx 75 to 100 messages per day)
discussed in the comp.windows.x newsgroup and xpert@expo.lcs.mit.edu
mailing list.  Note:  these 2 are gatewayed, so you only need to access
one.  Mail to xpert-request@expo.lcs.mit.edu to get added to the
mailing list.

|> CAN X READ IMAGES IN THOSE OTHER STANDARDS?

The standard X distribution from MIT includes the PBM system for
converting between many graphics formats.  There is also a program
called xgif the can be ftp'ed from most archives, including
gatekeeper.dec.com:/pub/comp.sources.x/xgif.
