Thanks, I'll take a look. Although now that you mention it, I also have some 
old C code somewhere that handles BMP (at least loading anyway, and PCX too, 
in fact (remember that?) ). But I have a suspicion that 
reading/understanding/adapting yours, even if it's not cleaned up, will 
probably be easier than digging out and porting my old stuff :)

Also, thanks for eveyone else's advice.
