I'd like to use the X cursors on a machine that doesn't have X.
Looking through the manuals, I discovered that the cursors are stored
in a font.  I also found the format that is used to store fonts in
memory.  However, I really need either the format that X uses for the font
files, specifically .snf files, or (preferably) a program to convert a
.snf file to something I can incorporate into a C program (something
like the output of "bitmap" would be great).
	I would GREATLY appreciate any pointers.  Please respond by
email.  Thanks VERY much.
