Well, the BINOBJ utility will make the bitmaps into .OBJ files, which can
be linked, but I'm not sure if you can do anything with them once they're
in that form.  I think Turbo would assume them to be program and not data.

Of course, since you declare a "procedure" name to any object you create
with BINOBJ, you could reference the data through a pointer to it.  For
example, if you named the object "fred", then "@fred" would be a pointer
to the first byte in "fred".
