I am trying to get the ShowDIB example program in the SDK to work
with 24 bit DIB files.   The program hangs when it tries to load 
them.  Other formats, such as 8 bit or monochrome bitmaps,
work just fine.  I have traced through the code and it
dies in the Windows routine that creates the DDB.

Has anyone gotten ShowDIB to work properly with 24 bit images?

I have also not gotten ShowDIB to write an RLE compressed file.
This is in the Options section under Save.  I looked through
the manual, but very little mention is made of the compressed
file except that the flags exist.  There is some discussion of
what the format looks like.


Thanks in advance,
Jim
