I am writing an interactive program to control a color scanner.
Once I get the image scanned into memory I can scroll it on the
Apollo display and do some simple editing. I can also save the
image to a GPR bitmap file with the GPR_$OPEN_BITMAP_FILE call
and then continue scanning/editing images. Here's my problem ...
how do I close the bitmap file so the image which was just
saved can be printed (copied, worked on by other people, etc)
without exiting from my GPR program? I want to be able to
continue working without my limited DN3000 address space
getting filled up with bitmaps that have been previously
written to disk. I seem to remember someone asking a similar
question a while ago, but I can't recall the replies.
