Hi there !

a simple problem:

is it possible to read a 16-color-picture into the X-windows-background.

it's easy to use blach/white pictures as background, using
'setroot -bitmap ..', but very slow. 

perhaps anybody constructed a better solution.

i use windows 11 Release 3 on a 386-AT with interactive-unix release 2.0.2.

thanks in advance
