1354 bytes

Why is it so? (on BCB6, Win XP)
whereas I get 14bytes size on BCB3 Win98

This has the effect of making the fread() read incorrectly

BITMAPFILEHEADER  fileHdrR;
 fread(&fileHdrR, sizeof(fileHdrR), 1,i_t);

In wingdi.h we have the following:-

#include <pshpack2.h>
typedef struct tagBITMAPFILEHEADER {
WORD bfType;
DWORD bfSize;
WORD bfReserved1;
WORD bfReserved2;
DWORD bfOffBits;
} BITMAPFILEHEADER, FAR *LPBITMAPFILEHEADER, *PBITMAPFILEHEADER;
#include <poppack.h>
