The Windows bitmap BMP file is not the same thing as a palm "bitmap"
resource.
Windows BMP files only define 1, 4, 8, and some higher bits per pixes,
so you can't define one that just uses two.
(for 2 bpp I have to upconvert to 4bpp in my capture to bmp hack
because of this)
However the import programs should be smart enough to take a 4bpp BMP
file that only uses 4 different colors or greys and convert them to a
2bpp palm bitmap. I think in pilrc you specify the bpp depth, so an
8bpp BMP file will get reduced to a lower bpp.
