Summary: how is it done?


I need to convert a bitmap into a region, where the region should
contain exactly those bits that are black in the bitmap.  This
is so that I can draw icons with a mask, but I can't use CopyMask,
because I want it to print as well.  CopyBits is a more
standard routine anyway (CopyMask wasn't documented until IM IV).
Any ideas?  If if I have to mess with the Region datastructure itself,

then what is it?  Where is it documented?
Giga Thanks,
Scott Draves
