Hi from Thailand :)

Win32Lib (and Windows) use BMP files as the 'native' format, but there are
plenty of other libraries around that can provide Jpeg, Gif and Png (among
others) support.  Take a look at the FreeImage or the GDI+ libraries available in
the Archives.

Personally I use FreeImage, mainly because there are just too many functions in
GDI+  and FreeImage is very easy to use.

There were rumours recently that the FreeImage library was going to be updated
with more features, but we'll need to smile and say nice things about it a bit
more before that happens I guess ;)

Cheers,
Dave
