Forgive me if this sounds like a stupid question, but...
what do I have to do to display .BMP files?  More specifically,
how do I create a bitmap from a .BMP file?  I've just recently
started tinkering with Windows programming using BC++2.0 (no
I don't have any docs for it!)  I know how to display bitmaps
that are included as resources, but have so far been unable to
do so from .BMP files (they always come out mangled.)  If anyone
could give me some info (by e-mail or post) I would greatly
appreciate it.
