I'm sure this one has been asked before, but I would appreciate any help that I can get. I need to create Macpaint (or other paint format) files. Can anyone steer me in the direction of the documentation that describes the format of these files? I have looked at many hex dumps and can't figure out where the "size" information is stored. It is easy to recognize the bitmap, but the format of what i suspect is the size (Rect?) doesn't look right. This is just a start. I will probably need to decode all types of paint files and document files (WRITE, WORD, ....). I have ordered all of Apple's tech notes on the subject, but who knows how long that will take. Thanks, Tom Biddulph StarNine Technologies (*IX) P.S. If someone out there has a description of the "Apple double header format" (at least, this is what I've been told its called) I would appreciate it. This is the new header that goes on the front of resource files (at least, under A/UX it does). I'm currently fudging it, but I would like to know the REAL field declarations.
