Well..to determine the format the file file..you may find some sort of
routine to check..but why not create one?
I mean, in windows, the extension determines the file format right?
So do a loop that starts from the last character, and goes back one until
you reach the "." (dot).
Based on that you can determine the format type..
Of course, if the user renamed a .bmp to a .jpeg then you won't be able to
tell that this was originally a .bmp file...
