There appears to be a header of ? 214 bytes after which the uncompressed pixels go. Is this right ? And what is the header composed of? Presumably colour maps etc. Anyone got a document on this format. Much appreciated if so, or some source code to read it will do. Ta Denis

You might also want to check Petzold's Environments column in the 11 September 1990 issue of PC Magazine. He describes the bitmap formats of several versions of OS/2 and Windows bitmaps. He has stated that he plans to do a followup issue on Windows 3.0 bitmaps, though I'm still waiting for that one.
