It sounds like you are asking for some relativly simple source code as an example. I recommend getting disk #185 of the Fred Fish library. It has a bunch of files describing the IFF standard, and the sources to Display. This program (formerly known as ViewILBM) reads an IFF file, allocates a custom bitmap, puts in the appropriate values, and displays the picture. -- Joe Smith (408)922-6220 | SMTP: JMS@F74.TYMNET.COM or jms@tymix.tymnet.com McDonnell Douglas FSCO | UUCP: ...!{ames,pyramid}!oliveb!tymix!tardis!jms PO Box 49019, MS-D21 | PDP-10 support: My car's license plate is "POPJ P," San Jose, CA 95161-9019 | narrator.device: "I didn't say that, my Amiga did!"
