Hi Jerry.
JC> Anyway, in both cases, you've basically got a header that 
JC> tells you the size of the picture and a few things like that, 
JC> a bunch of bytes that make up the image, and in some cases 
Do you have any very specific info? 
JC> Offhand, I don't have any code for reading either that really 
JC> qualifies as C++.  However, the various variations of BMP 
JC> are documented quite thoroughly in the Windows documentation. 
I had a look through  Win95, and I can't seem to find any.
I've looked through various HLP files. I don't have the Resource
Kit however.
JC> One other format worth considering is PNG.  This is a bit 
JC> more complicated, but there's at least one set of code freely 
I'm not necessarily just interested in code, rather a format, so
I can write my own code.
Thanks for the help.
TTFN - Paul.
