If you are creating your records manually, you could just store this into a record within your database, then read the record, the returned mem handle can be used and passed to the WinDrawBitmap function.
Since you already know your compression ratios, it seems that you already have the tool that compresses and builds the correct palm header. Also note that in SOME cases packedbits has worked well. thanks - bill "Chris DiPierro" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:112233@palm-dev-forum... > > Ok, it's been a while since I've paid attention to all the new Bitmap stuff > /w OS/5, etc. > > What I'm trying to do is take a large image (320x240, etc) @ 64k colors and > ultimately display it.
