Looking for some help to save a little time and effort.

I have a copy of INSET V2.2 supplied with my copy of WORDSTAR 2000, with
which I have created many charts and diagrams for proposals and documents.
Recently, on an ambitious weekend, I purchased and installed Turbo C++,
and am writing some routines to display some of the same information
in my earlier documents as a visual demonstration program.  It would be
great if I had some way to import the .PIX files created by inset into
this C++ program for manipulation and display.

Although I managed to collect a few paychecks for assembly language in
one of past lives, I am new to C and C++, and have found the documentation
and descriptions of graphics handling vague.

1)  Is there any way to export an INSET file to a Turbo C++ bit image?

2)  Does anyone know the file format of INSET's .PIX images?

3)  What is the format of a Turbo C++ screen image in memory?

Thanks,

Grover
