Are there any guarantees about when the bitmap header and data will and won't be contiguous?
The OS 5 documentation says that the indirect flag "is supported for bitmaps created by Palm OS only; this flag is not used in user-created bitmap resources." "User-created bitmap resources" applies to bitmaps generated by BmpCreate and WinCreateOffscreenWindow, not just static resources generated at compile-time, right? Does "not used" mean that user-created bitmap resources are always contiguous or always discontiguous? Thanks.
