Hi

A file is a file is a file is a file, no matter what the oerating system, its
the program that decides its type.

In windows (and I'm not sure if there's a linux equivalent), you need to use one
of the graphic libraries (freedib, gd, win32dib, look for bitmap in the archive)
to load your bitmap into memory, use one of the functions to write to it (in
memory), and then write it back out to disk.

I can't remember the exact functions / procs to do this, but there in the docs.
