By the way, I assume you're reading a PALM bitmap from this file, not
a WINDOWS bitmap, right?

It would be a Bitmap that would be written into the VFS using HotSync or
some similar utility, from the PC.
I've even tried it out and got to see that the bmp from windows, is stored
as a jpg in my VFS.

Then you will need a JPEG decoder, and my method of reading from a VFS
file will be of no use to you.

However, if you just have a small number of fixed that do not change, I
would recommend putting them as resources inside your application.  That's
much easier since all you have to do is cut and paste them into whatever
tool you use to edit resources, and then in the application, you just
use DmGetResource() to get a handle, MemHandleLock() to lock it, and
WinDrawBitmap() to draw the bitmap.  Of course, this method doesn't work
if the user gets to change the bitmaps.  It only works if they are part
of the application.
