                      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.
