I have an application that ships with 4,000 files with the filename extension of BMP. PMV 3.40 (OS/2 and Win) is unable to open them. I assume they are not any normal format. See attached file.

My gut react is that it's a proprietary bitmap format that is not even remotely related to the Windows or OS/2 bitmap standard... It's very easy to slap on the extension .BMP  Peter -------------------- Peter Nielsen (peter@pmview.com) "If you can dream it, you can do it" JFK.

A Nissan parts lookup application for Windoze.  They are probably metafiles, because areas on the images are "clickable" for the application to select; I'm guessing there is much non-image info in each file. There are lots and lots of them, and I'd prefer to not perform a screen capture every time I need to reference one, which happens once or twice a week. -------------------- |
