   Could someone please e-mail me a description of the windows .BMP picture

   P.S. I can't ftp it...help!
Two pointers to the BMP format.  

1.  The SDK documentation.  My book is titled Microsoft Windows
Programmer's Reference.  About $35 at a local discount book store.

2.  PC Mag.  Starting 1 or 2 issues ago and still continuing in
Petzold's column is a good discussion about windows bitmaps and their
formats.
