1. creating a valid bmp in Paint for Euphoria
Hi,
I'm having trouble with read_bitmap. According to the euphoria docs you can
create a bitmap in Paint and read it with read_bitmap. However everytime I
do that I get an "Unsupported Format" return code error. The bitmap always
gets created in Paint as 32X32X24BPP. Read_bitmap supports 2, 4, 16 and 256
colors. What can I do?
I want to eventually get this bmp into XPM format for my Toolbars.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Judith Evans

When you save, select something other than 24-Bit Bitmap in the list
under the file name.

Thanks,
That leaves me with a 'red face'... I completely overlooked the dropdown
list under the filename.
