Thanks for the reply, although I finally found that problem by myself... I
let "Search and Scan" loose on my CDROM commection, which (after
about 12 hours) got me about 500 source files using bit maps. Turns out the
only difference between my code and "theirs" was a "memset(
&bmih, 0, sizeof( bmih ) );". That fixed it.
