P.S
Even compression useing Run-Time Length encodeing of the bitmaps, the =

Subject: Win32Lib & Bitmaps or maybe GIF's
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 !
