Hello Fellow Coders,

I was wondering if anyone has researched the ability
to bitBlt and transBlt GIF files (if possible)?

I am pretty sure that to use the GIF file Format you
would need a liscence. Am I right?

I am extensively useing bitmaps and have found that over
time (to include these bitmaps with my program) the expense of HD space =
is too great.

Does anyone have an alternative to oversized images
other than zip archives?

If I were to use JPEG what if any restictions would apply?
Is it possible to use this format with Win32Lib?

I want to shave some bytes by-way-of graphics and need
some ideas.

I cant use Euphoria bitmaps because of the limitation
of being only 256 color depth (8 bit)

Thanks in Advance all !
