24 bit color bitmaps in DOS

Are there and utilities to read and write 24 bit bitmaps in DOS? I was going
to hack together a tool to average bitmaps together to emulate motion blur
in POV, but the bitmap tools supplied with Euphoria can only handle bitmaps
up to 256 colors.

There are a number of tools for converting 24 bit bitmaps into 8 bit colors,
but they are lossy. I'm looking for something that will deal with 24 bit
bitmaps without degeneration. I don't need to display them, only read,
modify, and write them.

Thanks.
