I haven't seen anything on this in the last 200-300 news items, so I felt that it was safe to ask... I need some information on Microsoft's bitmap (.BMP) file format. I don't need a conversion program. I have a program that produces some neat fractals, and would like to output them in .BMP format so that I can use them for Windows 3.0 WallPaper.

I have not seen any posting of the bmp graphics format used in windows 3. Does anyone have that format specification handy? Is it available ftp ? (I have not seen it) I am especially interested in the 16 and 256 color types if that matters.

I would like to know if there are any conversion programs to convert any format (like .xwd or .xbm) to .bmp? I have pbmplus but I didn't see anything there.

The Windows Paint (or whatever it's called) loads in .PCX files and saves .BMP files, I believe. -Chris cwilson@uiuc.edu
