Does anyone know the *exact* format of images saved using Borland's
"getimage" command (Pascal and C), as used in the BGI package?

Using WATCOM C16, I want to read in some images that were saved with
"getimage" then written directly to disk .. I have the images
appearing on the screen, but there is (consistently) a single bar of pixels
from the left side of the image that always appears on the right .. this
doesn't affect the entire rest of the image.

Ideas?

The code I'm using is:

 -----[ snip, snip ]-----

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
   struct videoconfig  VC;
   struct stat         fi;
   FILE                *fh;
   void                *mp;

   fh = fopen( argv[1], "rb" );
   fstat( fileno(fh), &fi );
   mp = malloc(fi.st_size);
   fread( mp, fi.st_size, 1, fh );
   fclose(fh);

   _getvideoconfig(&VC);
   if( (VC.adapter == _VGA) || (VC.adapter == _SVGA) )
   {
      _setvideomode(_VRES16COLOR);
      _putimage( 2, 2, mp, _GPSET );
      getch();
      _setvideomode(_DEFAULTMODE);
   }
   else
      fprintf( stderr, "fatal: only vga and svga supported\n" );

   free(mp);
   return(0);
}
