There is some cool stuff but not what i need this moment
I want to read from file only data needed, so that loading will still be
fast.

There is a bug: You need to change

integer DIBDC, DIB

to

atom DIBDC, DIB

and in  dibdraw.ew

this:

integer currentdc -- hold dc value to be more compatible for win32lib users

to this:

atom currentdc -- hold dc value to be more compatible for win32lib users

else it fails on Windows 2000, it says: type check failure for DIB (and
currentdc) but only sometimes
