1. Re: BMP
--=====================_890888853==_
I don't think I explained myself correctly...
Colin Taylor has a bitmap.e file and explains this in his text file:
"Windows bitmap (.bmp) files can be converted to Euphoria
bitmaps by the read_bmp() routine." I want to know how to convert .bmp to
(I assume) .bm files. An example is attached. Your help is appreciated!
