Hello,
I know how to use bitmap, and I know how to get twm to use as a cursor
(mouse pointer) a bitmap file.  However When I try to use a bitmap larger
than the default 16x16 grid, it gets chopped down to 16x16.

I checked the "Frequently Asked Questions" list and the twm man page.
I have also read the X user manual.
Both tell how to install custom designed bitmaps as cursors, but neither
say anything about a limit to the size of the bitmaps.

I am on a Sun 4, using X11R4, on a OptimaX 200 Graphon terminal.

Any help would be appreciated.  Please email and I will summarize to the
net (unless I get told how stupid a question this is :-)
