They are X11 bitmap files. You have to use the command 'xsetroot -cursor' from your UNIX prompt followed by two X11 files. The first is the picture and the second is the background. You can do 'man bitmap' for more info. I will post the the files in three sets. The sets are: 1. Lebanese Flag (Picture Foreground & Picture Background) 2. Israeli Flag (Picture Foreground & Black Solid Picture Background) 3. Israeli Flag (Transparent Picture Background - Foreground is the same as in set 2) PLUS: 4. A cartoon. You can display this on your screen by typing: 'xsetroot -bitmap filename'. The file name is the foreground. Or make a cursor out of it as above. Seperate each posted article into two files- except #3 it reuses the foreground data from #2 - and apply the above command. There is one problem though, some screens do not provide full support. I have no idea why!! I can have the pictures on my NCD display but not the mobius...beats me... Good luck... Regards, Hayssam
