BMP2Hex - An Alien Bill Production

(for Win3.1 and Greater)

OVERVIEW:
BMP2Hex is a small but easy to use tool
for a small but fun to use language for 
a small but wonderful device.

It converts standard Windows .BMP files into
the corresponding "string bits" parameter of
the "bitmap()" function of "PocketC"  (as of 
version 0.99) for the PalmPilot.


RECOMENDED USAGE:
1. Run the program and the PalmPilot Desktop
2. Drag and Drop a Windows ".BMP" anywhere
   in the program window.  (Make sure the BMP2Hex
   image window is not obscure by any other program
   window.)  The program will generate and display 
   the appropriate string. 
3. Copy the string from the text and window and
   paste it into a memo in the PalmPilot Desktop
4. When you HotSync, the string will be waiting 
   for you.

KNOWN ISSUES:
If there is another program window in front of the
BMP2Hex Bitmap display, the covered portions of the
BMP will be read in as "Black" in the generated 
hex string.

If the BMP is big, it may take a while and the 
text window may appear garbled.  Everything should
still work, however, including cutting-and-pasting.
