Ppm format within the pbmplus utilities is NOT an X pixmap format but a
P)ortable P)ixM)ap format. You have to use some type of utility to convert
data from the ppm format into an X format. Unfortunately there is no current
standard X pixmap file format, but I believe there is work going on to create
one.
