Hello netters,
  I wish to write a program that reads a Windows Paint file and encodes the
data for further processing. One fellow from the other newsgroup said that
basically the format of this file is 32 byte of header followed by the
data. Could anybody tell me the description of each field in this header.
I found out that the first four bytes is 'DanM', the next two 2-byte values
are row & column size (I'm not sure which one is which ?) but I don't know
the rest ?

I appreciate your helping me with the description.

Hans.
