The LCD screen is a linear memory buffer, as are uncompressed bitmaps
after a header.

The compression and other info is in the palm docs on the website, or
I think can be derived from the code in the current pilrc.

If you want a fast moving picture, you can simply fill a database with
images and point the LCD screen at each in succession every 20th of a
second.
