Palm OS Bitmaps are NOT the same as windows bitmaps. You can not take a
.bmp file, place it on an expansion card and just draw it.
You need to either write a parser for a windows bitmap, or convert it to
a palm bitmap before placing on the expansion card, or use a common
format (jpeg with libjpeg)

Hey guys:
I am working on an application which needs to display a bitmap file from
an expansion card, and when I get the bitmap file data by using
VFSFileRead(), then I called WinDrawBitmap(), but it doesn't work...
So I tried to ignore the first sizeof(BitmapFileInfo/*BitmapFileInfo
structure on PC */) bytes of the the bitmapfile data, then I called
WinDrawBitmap(bmpData+sizeof(BitmapFileInfo)), it still won't work...
So guys,how can I get it displayed?
Thanks!
