.bmp format is fairly simple, and is well documented (e.g. see www.wotsit.org). It wouldn't be hard to write a reader using connections. The only difficulty is that several pixel formats are available. However, if you have control of the creation of the files, you can choose 24 bit BMPs, which are the simplest to read.
