have you tried running your program on a 2.0 device? i dont recall if
the rom actually checked the version of the bitmap :) and, from memory
my apps run ok on a 2.0 rom image (haven't tried a device for long time)

dont believe the docs 100% :) but, you can check the PilRC source:
---
// configure the bitmap header
switch (bitmaptype)
{
case rwBitmap:
case rwBitmapGrey:
case rwBitmapGrey16:
case rwBitmapColor16:
rcbmp->pixelsize = cbitsPel;
rcbmp->version = 1;
break;
case rwBitmapColor256:
rcbmp->pixelsize = cbitsPel;
rcbmp->version = 2;
---
hmm.. if i need to change it, let me know :) but, i think you know
how to change it yourself if deemed necessary :P but, if i must...
[by the way, dont do it - read why below]

// configure the bitmap header
switch (bitmaptype)
{
case rwBitmap:
rcbmp->pixelsize = cbitsPel;
rcbmp->version = 0;
break;
case rwBitmapGrey:
case rwBitmapGrey16:
case rwBitmapColor16:
rcbmp->pixelsize = cbitsPel;
rcbmp->version = 1;
break;

i will check the docs myself and verify that this is required.. i am
pretty sure my games run ok on 2.0 - even when the bitmap version is
set to 1, your problem might not be this at all :>
[off checking docs]
pp458-459 of Palm OS 3.5 SDK Reference
- BitmapVersionZero 0 - 1.0 or later
- BitmapVersionOne 1 - 3.0 or later
- BitmapVersionTwo 2 - 3.5 or later
oh well.. looks like the docs help with your story :) now, lets see
how the docs work in relation to "field test" :P
[checking my games on 2.0 rom]
dkjr - works fine
dkung - works fine
hoards - works fine
oktopus - works fine
parashoot - works fine
phire - works fine
you sure you need this change done?.. my games use bitmap version 1
and work perfectly on a 2.0 rom image.. i'll fudge PilRC to set
version to 0 now.. just to satisfy yours and my own curiosity..
[off compiling update to PilRC]
[checking my games on 2.0 rom]
[checking my games on 3.5 rom]
woah.. sure. it works.. but.. now.. on a color device, all my bitmaps
are black and white.. looks like version 0 of the bitmap doesn't
support bitmap families - which is probably why i changed it in the
first place to 1 :=) [i did the change over 14 months ago now]
PilRC will keep setting the bitmap version number to 1. setting it
to 0 causes problems.. and, setting it to 1 still allows the
application to work on 2.0 (which is what you asked) - so, no
go on this change.. :)
maybe you read the docs to much :)) the docs can be wrong too :)
yes, i know you emailed me personally about this.. but:
a) i was on vacation
b) i felt like sh*t that day :P
c) i was on vacation.. :P
i also feel like sh*t today too.. gotta love this flu going around.
must have brought it back with me from australia :)
