Attempting to save bandwidth, three questions in one posting:

1.  ToolBook .TBK file format.  Does anyone have info on this?  Their
tech support did not have a definitive answer.  Public?  Secret?
Future products waiting in the wings?

2.  Wallpaper (.BMP) limited to 16 colors. Is this correct?  Have
many 256 color GIF's.  Have converted to .PCX, but could not get
to 256 color .BMP display.  Someone told me this is a limitation of
current Windows drivers.  Is this correct?  (Used HIJAAK to convert)

3.  SDK sample TTY code.  Friend compiled this, had trouble with 
characters being lost.  Are there Windows serial I/O tricks that
this code does not use?  Other excellent sample serial I/0 C code
for windows floating around on BBS's, etc?
