Anne, BMP's are a lot of things. Essentially it is nothing 
than "a collection of bits". I remember form my OS/2 days 
a great application - PMView - that gave a thorough 
explanation of the various .bmp-formats. There IS a big 
difference between Windows- Unix- OS/2- etc. etc. when it 
comes to bmp-pics.
