Could someone please e-mail me the format of the image saved when I
use the getimage(...) and putimage(...) functions of Turbo C's BGI
library?
E-mail is preferable but post if you have trouble!
Also how would I go about storing images within files, say within an
EXE file?
Thanks

Its detailed in the manual -- 2 words giving width & height, followed by data (1 bit per pixel for B/W, dunno about others). I think that there may also be an extra word after the width and height. > >Also how would I go about storing images within files, say within an >EXE file? Here's what I did -- display the image on-screen and use getimage to capture it, then write it to a file, still in binary. Next, write a wee program which reads a binary file and writes it out in hex, including 0x before each byte, and a comma after each... maybe also throw in some new-lines. At the beginning of the text file, add (either with an editor, or by putting it in the filter program) the following: char XXXX[] = { and at the end add }; Now compile the file using Turbo C... that'll give you a .OBJ, which you can link into your executable. (BTW, insert the correct name where I put XXXX above). In the run-time version of the program, use putimage(XXXX) to display the image.

I think that there may >also be an extra word after the width and height. The format of the data is up to the .BGI driver, I think. It tries for whatever is most convenient for loading and storing, not necessarily any standard form. Duncan Murdoch
