I am interested in taking *.xbm files and 'painting' them onto the screen.
This is for an implementation of backgammon for the Sparcs running under
X11R4 with OSF Motif 1.1.  I would be using this painting to put a bitmap
of the game board, created offline, onto the game window.  The pieces 
would be place in a similar fashion.

If anyone has, or knows of, a routine that can do this, I would greatly
appreciate it.  I checked the .FAQ, and it did not have anything on this
particular subject.

Note: I do not need the actual bitmap to be manipulated, just 'painted'
statically on the screen in the game window.

Thanks in advance.
