TGA file top-down or not?

I'm loading a top-down TGA file, took me a while to figure out how to tell CreateDIBitmap that it's top-down. Now I'm realizing I could both support top-down and bottom-up files, the only thing is that I don't know where in the file it's specified whether it's top-down.

At offset 8 there are two WORDs indicating the 'origin' of the image, but they're not used in a bottom-up TGA, neither in a top-down one.

Sorry never mind I already found it. I just read over it. In case you want to know, http://www.gamers.org/dEngine/quake3/TGA.txt

Solution:

• Take the byte at offset 17 (let's call it cImageDescriptor)
• bool bTopDown = cImageDescriptor & 32;
