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.
