>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:

Obviously it's sourcecode in C for some kind of bitmap... try a program like

for (y=0; y<noname_height; y++)
  for (x=0; x<noname_width;x++)
    if (noname_bits[(y * noname_width + x) >> 3] & (1 << (x % 8)))
	setpixel(x,y);

Perpahps (x % 8) should be (7 - (x % 8)) depending on bitorder...
compile and run, and have some phun...
