I hope someone can help me here.
   I have a bitmap created in memory which I copy to my Window's presentation
space during the WM_PAINT message.  No problem there.  My problem is that
I'm wanting to write directly to the surface of this bitmap.  It is created
using the GpiCreateBitmap() procedure, but I don't know how to obtain a 
pointer to the bitmap memory.
   Another question I have is in regards to the palette.  I'm writing a paint
program of sorts, and control over the palette is sorely needed.  I know how
to create a 256 entry palette, and even how to override the system colors so
I know that I have full control.  However, is there a way to determine where
the system colors would go so that I could restrict myself to 200 or so 
colors and know that the system palette would remain intact?  Should I just
allocate 200 colors and let the GPI do the remapping?
   Is DIVE my answer, and if so how can I get programming info on it.  I'm 
working with OS/2 2.11 if that makes a difference.

Thanks,
Michael Duffy
