Hello,
After reading your answer i could realize that my questions were far from being clear. I have already some graphic images (bmp) made in Photoshop. They're all small (to fit in 320x320 resolution screen) but 24 bpp. I just wondered how to convert these images to use with PalmOS. (I guess that you've answered my question now - PilRC or Constructor). Thanks. H3li0 ( <--- No, this is not a hacker name.
