The format of Palm bitmaps is not the same as Windows BMP bitmaps.
The header file Bitmap.h has information about Palm bitmaps. You can
also check out the code at <ftp://ftp.transpac.com/bitmaps> for an
example of manipulating bitmaps.
I think that typically people convert BMP data into Palm bitmaps by
copying the Windows bitmap data from a paint program, then paste it
into Constructor. I'm sure there are conversion utilities as well.
