Annotation of pmsdk/samples/bmap/readme, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        1: Comments about BMAP
                      2: 
                      3: BMAP is "well-documented" (perhaps to a far extreme).  Running the program
                      4: is fairly self-explanatory; just use the pulldown menus.
                      5: 
                      6: This program demonstrates how to use BITMAP resources.  It allows you to
                      7: load up bitmaps and display them on the screen.  The bitmaps are pre-loaded,
                      8: however, as resources; they are not loaded on the fly.  The ICONEDIT
                      9: facility can be used to load and make bitmaps; however, BMAP3 seems to be
                     10: of a different format (multicolor) and causes a system fault if you try to
                     11: load it.  To get ICONEDIT to work, you have to switch into "BITMAP" mode;
                     12: one way to do that is by pretending you're creating a new bitmap. Use
                     13: (File...New...Bitmap); then, use (File...Open...) and give it a bitmap
                     14: filename.
                     15: 
                     16: Also:  In PETZOLD\CHAP09 there are more bitmap loading examples.
