You could ditch the Palm bitmaps entirely and use a GIF or PNG format
for your resource ... you would also have to have your own routines to
read & draw it of course.
There may still be certain patent issues w/ compressed GIF ... I'd suggest
looking up the PNG format. There is library code available to handle it
that you would have to port to the Palm, but you wouldn't have to write it
yourself.
Finally you'd have to have a paint program that produces PNG files,
and then a utility to take the file and create a raw binary resource. I
don't
think you can do your own resource types just w/ Constructor, but you can
if you use Rez (I think).
