WHAT?
    A xpm picture datatype. It's freeware: Enjoy!
    (If you use it, you can send me an email)

REQUIREMENT:
    - 68020+
    - OS 3.0+

FEATURES:
    - Works with all known xpm files. (IF NOT, SEND ME YOUR FILE PLEASE!)
    - Fast
    - Xpm encoder (you can convert pictures to xpm with dtconvert for example)

NEW:
    - Xpm encoder was done.
    - A lot of little bugs removed.

INSTALL:
    copy devs to sys:
    copy Classes/Datatype/xpm.datatype to sys:classes/datatypes/
    That's all.

TODO:
    ???

KNOW BUGS:
    - If you try to save an xpm file to another xpm file using multiview,
      you'll get an incorrect colors table. But anyone need that?

THANKS:
    Thanks must go to Francis Labrie for his great help!

WARNING:
    I've writted this datatype without documentation about the xpm format.
    I've tested it with several xpm files but that's not means it works with
    ALL xpm files! (That's should be ok now... :))
