>Hi. I have recently come across a graphic format which I can't figure out. All my attempts at viewing it have proven unsuccessful. Hopefully somebody can help. The initial file is in compressed format with the *.Z ending. When decompressed,its first few lines look like this:

	The file you have is an X Window bitmap file.  If you have
access to X Windows, type "bitmap filename" to display the bitmap.
