Responding to my own post (possibly the second time, first got rejected)...
ScrCompress is not doing well for me, but it may be from not knowing how to use it
(System-only call, not even mentioned in the Ref manual). I'm giving it a compression
type of either BitmapCompressionTypeRLE or BitmapCompressionTypeScanLine, a scanline
from the GIF & the length, providing it a buffer and buffer length for the response,
and providing a set of flags that lives between ScrCompress calls.
BitmapCompressionTypeRLE seems to increase the size of the bitmap, while
BitmapCompressionTypeScanLine produces a bitmap that dies in the WinDrawBitmap call
with the "read directly from memory manager data structures" error in POSE.
I am matching the changes in ScrCompres's type of compression in the BitmapType
struct. Anybody have any ideas on bitmap compression in PalmOS 3.5?
Thanks

ScrCompress sounded interesting, but since it is a PalmOS 3.5 system-only call I
wasn't sure what it did. I will fall back and try that today.
