I compiled the xloadimage 2.0 relase, and attempted to display several
G3 images, but got a tremendous stream of errors, ending in a core
dump (because of a %s used w/o a string argument. . .)  Which . . .
makes me feel that it was not used, tested, or whatever.

1.	Does the previous release robustly support G3?
2.	Does anyone have a G4 support algorithm?
3.	Have other people used the G3 display option?

All replies appreciated; the G4 (tiled) option would be especially
interesting.  Also, Where can I find a concise definition of G3/4 
compression/decompression algorithms?
