Hi Peoples,

I have written code to generate some graphics screens in Turbo C 2.0 (DOS).
However, I now wish to export those screens (prob. through the structure from
getimage()) to a BMP or PCX format so I can "touch them up" using an external
graphics tool, and then be able to import them back into my Turbo C code
(prob through reading into the same structure for putimage()).

I have scoured the SimTel site and had a brief look at the bmp2bgi.zip,
bmp2imc.zip and sprgen10.zip files, but they seem to convert only from an
external format INTO BGI - I can't seem to find any software that will
convert my BGI format into BMP/PCX (I don't particularly want to start
my screens from scratch again!!). Perhaps I overlooked the more generic
graphics conversion/library files that would be able to do this??

Oh, I have also been using a SVGA driver and intend on using 256 colours;
this seems to not be supported with the previously mentioned conversion
routines. 

Please email me privately with any info/advice you may have:

Thanks in advance,
Karen
