Having stared at Pascal code for too many years, I am at this moment unable to grasp the fundamentals of bit manipulation. I figure somebody knowledgeable on this wonderful net ought to be able to help jar my brain back into functioning again. Does anybody know of a book that describes bitmap rotation, or of some sample code? All I need to do is stand some text on its side going up vertically. Somebody please help an aspiring Mac programmer whose brain has gone "doooiiinnnng." Not that it matters for this problem, but I use MacApp. Please e-mail or at least echo responses directly to me, and thank you for any help you can provide. - Brian
