I know of someone with a program to convert mac images
into dmdp format bitmaps. It would be easy to write a 
similar program to convert twid images. I was going to add
a bitmap download into dmdp allowing you to locally format 
or display the downloaded image.  The beginnings of this
can be found in the latest dmdp. I would be interested in
hearing about trade-offs in bitmap storage techniques. 
twid doesn't do anything - it's a straght representation.
dmdp has some runlength bit encoding.  I'm not sure
what the mac's bitmap format is.
