While there is no API for reading and writing a DIB, there is
sample code supplied with the SDK for doing so.  Look at the
"showdib" under "samples".  Be warned though, the code as it
is rather buggy.  I can't remember offhand where I found
bugs, but it had something to do with the data in the DIB
headers...
