Subject: Q: Xlib:read-(ppm)colour-file needed

Hello,

i have to display graphical, colourized information within my lisp-aplication
on a 8-bit pseudo-colour display. 

Therefore i would need a function like
	(xlib::read-ppm-or-whatever-colour-file), 
which uses - in respect of the actual window's colourmap and the requested
colours - (xlib::create-image ...) and returns a pixmap-structure like
	(#<XLIB:IMAGE-Z SUNSET-SMALL 184x131x8>).

My problem isn't to read the different file-formats, but the colourmap handling
on a 8 bit pseudo-colour display.

Any information and advice is appreciated!
Johannes
