Uh, I may be wrong, but are the bitmaps GUARANTEED to be stored
one after the other in memory???  If you're lucky in allocation, they
might be.   The BitMap structure contains an array of pointers to the
tops of the bitplanes; if b is a BitMap, b.Planes[0] points to the
first bitplane, b.Planes[1] to the second, etc.  I think you'd be
better off using that...

Or am I wrong?
