Hi gang: I need to know what "Microsoft DIB (BMP) bitmap format" is. Does anyone have any information regarding these critters? If so, please help. All I know is that the DIB characteristics are: 1 plane, 16 colors (4bit/pixel), uncompressed, solid colors only in a RGB color table. I really need to know more specific information (hopefully with code or detailed documentation). Thanks in advance for any help. tedd ___________________________________________________________________ <mailto:tedd@...> http://sperling.com/
