Comments about BMAP

BMAP is "well-documented" (perhaps to a far extreme).  Running the program
is fairly self-explanatory; just use the pulldown menus.

This program demonstrates how to use BITMAP resources.  It allows you to
load up bitmaps and display them on the screen.  The bitmaps are pre-loaded,
however, as resources; they are not loaded on the fly.  The ICONEDIT
facility can be used to load and make bitmaps; however, BMAP3 seems to be
of a different format (multicolor) and causes a system fault if you try to
load it.  To get ICONEDIT to work, you have to switch into "BITMAP" mode;
one way to do that is by pretending you're creating a new bitmap. Use
(File...New...Bitmap); then, use (File...Open...) and give it a bitmap
filename.

Also:  In PETZOLD\CHAP09 there are more bitmap loading examples.
