It's fantastic how big the BMP is ...
look at PNG:
PATH.BMZ 19967 1.04.01 21:16
PATH.png 20521 2.04.01 10:04
path.zbm 17185 2.04.01 3:27
It's bigger by 3336 bytes, but it is supported directly by most browsers.
(including arachne, netscape, ie, opera, ....)
And the GZipped version is also smaller than 20 k.

the zbm ?? i doubt
the bmp ?? why not ??
I was able to view the png without any conversion

Naturally NOT (!!!!)
ZIP is looseless compression.
The decompressed file is byte equal to the original file !!!
