        !             4: "bm-convert" reads an X10-format bitmap file on the standard input
        !             5: and writes out the equivalent X11-format bitmap file on the standard
        !             6: output.  It takes no command-line options of any kind, and does its
        !             7: work without using an X server.
        !             8: 
        !             9: An X10-format bitmap file contains an array of 16-bit hex constants
        !            10: declared as "static short foo_bits[]", where "foo" is usually replaced by
        !            11: a name derived from the name of the file.  In X11 format, the declaration
        !            12: is "static char foo_bits[]" and the hex constants are 8 bits wide.  In
        !            13: addition, the X10 format pads each scanline to a 16-bit boundary,
        !            14: while X11 format pads only to an 8-bit boundary.
        !            15: 
        !            16: For more information, look at the man page for the "bitmap" program,
        !            17: and the descriptions of XReadBitmapFile, XCreateBitmapFromData, and
        !            18: XPutImage in the Xlib manual.
