+To make a new logo:
+
+ 1) Create the logo image by some means. Size should be no larger
+ than 512x512
+ 2) Convert the image to FITS, scale it so pixel values are 0-200
+ 3) Export to a raw 'logo.bin' file using the IRAF command:
+
+ cl> export logo.fits[*,-*] logo.bin raw outtype='b1' header-
+
+ We flip the image in Y due to the difference in location of the
+ origin.
+ 4) Convert the binary logo.bin file to the header:
+
+ % mkhdr logo.bin > ../logo.h
+
+ 5) Recompile the XImtool sources.
