I would suggest using one of the tools that comes with the Mode 19
Engine that
was created by Hollow Horse.  You 'should' be able to find it in the
Archives at
http://www.RapidEuphoria.com


    The tool that I refer to is described in the file multibmp.txt
It allows you to read and write multiple bmp's to one file.
