I am looking for a general solution to the following: I would like to
create images using Turbo Pascal (either BGI or some other package), and
save those images (EGA/VGA) in a form that paint programs can access.
Likewise, I would like to be able to create images with a paint program,
and then read those images into a Pascal program.

The answer clearly includes using an appropriate graphics file format (GIF,
perhaps?), and having access to the proper drivers. How have others solved
this problem?

Also, I am looking for recommendations for a good color paint program for
the IBM PC class of machines. Are there any out there that are clear
winners?

I'll post a summary of the responses sent to me.

Thanks.
