    Bitmap in Notepad...

    For fun, I opened up a bitmap in notepad. It was
    just a bunch of jibberish followed by a lot of
    squares (I'm sure you people already knew this)...

    At the beginning of the file there is a BM. Is
    this the BM that you check when you load
    a bitmap in a C-program? Is the rest of the
    jibberish the remainder of the header?

    Here is the jibberish to my bitmap:

    BM¶ Æ ( < „   ð Ã Ã $
    ??? OHO OOO ```  ÿ pÀ 0Ï OÀ
    ??ß P‡Ï _?Ï O˜ï _§ÿ o?Ð p˜Ð  ß _ €‡€ ??? ¿¸¿
    ¿¿¿ €¨ß ?¯ß €¿ÿ Ÿ·à ¿à ¯Çï °Ïï °Ðÿ ¿Ðð ÏØð ðÿð
    ÿÿÿ


    After this, there was a bunch of sqares and
    dots (.). Are the squares/dots the actual
    data? How can I see what's behind these squares?

    Will someone explain this stuff to me? Please?
