i made a bitmap prog. it was written from the rfc specifications. when i looked at a saved bitmap generated from a paint prog with a hex editor i saw 16 octets that were not in the rfc. 797? forget which rfc. at the begining of the file. it had BM in the first so i assumed that stood for the .bmp file identifyer. i did search many times the rfcs and did not find any file header for the bmp files. meow.
