Aaron etc.. Yes, CW6 WinNt. Constructor lets you *create* 4 bit bitmaps. It just seems that when you call them directly (at least in my case), they show as 1 bit....it seems the call has to be directed through the family. I have been curious about PilRC (I barely know what it is) and would like to try it out. Whenever I got to your site, which directs me to Rhodes site, and finally the download (ftp://ftp.calliopeinc.com/PilRCPlugin.DLL.zip) I get a "This page cannot be displayed" message from Explorer, most likely a problem on my side with our company network (there's a few sites that are locked out). Is PilRC (plug-in) available anywhere else? My MS guy is never available to fix this problem.

PilRC allows this.. with the BITMAPGREY16 tag! surely, it exists inside constructor.. maybe you should have tried the PilRC plugin for CW? :) then, you can create this 4bpp grayscale bitmap WITHOUT the family. // az [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ardiri.com/ <--- free games! -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/ -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/
