I did learn a lot from this problem. As you said, PilRC parses the Windows bitmap, not the PalmOS bitmap. Second, PilRC uses DATA to import binary file. My binary file is in PalmOS bitmap format therefore it caused that problem. Btw, the resrouce type needs to add to the decl, for example: DATA "Tbmp" ID 3500 "pic1.bin" Vu -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
