    Bitmap colour listing tool

    Firstly, only I'm 99% certain this is the right forum.

    I created a tool for my brother that reads a bitmap file and dumps (in a text file) a table of all the RGB values. I forget what he needed it for exactly.

    I guess someone might find the actual tool useful. If not, there's my abomination of C source to dig through - I've released it under the GNU GPL.
    Eventually, I'll upload it to our (mine and my brother's) site. Need webspace first. Heh.

    Note: The file is a .zip masquerading as a .txt. Why can't we upload .zips?

    EDIT: Just realised I said something kinda silly in the source file header - that I'm ashamed of the non-portable usage of conio.h. Silly? Yeah, I did use windows.h too

    Good class architecture is not like a Swiss Army Knife; it should be more like a well balanced throwing knife.

    I think I'll download that and have a look at it. It might come in useful in the future.

    I think that lots of viruses must come in ZIPs, because at least one email service provider that I know of blocks them, while allowing .XLS, .PPT, etc. (Which you might think would be more prone to malware.)

    Nice avatar BTW.

    [edit] I see what you mean about the conio.h etc . . .
    Code:
    #ifndef _DEBUG
    	printf("\nPress [ENTER] to continue ...\n");
    	fflush(stdin);
    	_getch();
    #endif
    I'd also avoid profanity in code that you publish publically online. [/edit]

    Oh gawd I completely forgot about that profanity - I'll re-upload it in a minute sans dirty words

    I like sad trees.

    EDIT: Done - see original post.
