If the bit for grabbing the buffer is OK and it's just the writing the
file that screws things up then try using PPM, it is a much simpler file
format.  I've made up a C++ class that can handle the I/O for you and I
could email you that if you like.  The class has support for you to just
tell it where the buffer is and it'll use that memory for its image.  It
should work a treat in this case.

Just email me if you want the source to the class..

I've not run any Microsoft code for 40 days.
    How about you?
