As a related question:
Can getimage() be skipped? Say I have a small picture. I draw in onto
the screen. Read it with getimage(). Now I want to save it in a file,
or by some other means store it. Obviously, I want to have it ready
for putimage() later without having to draw it.

I tried a few things. First, make the bitmap an int* and try to read the
image int by int.
Shorthand:

   int *bitmap;
   bitmap=malloc(size);
   getimage(bitmap);
   for (i=1;i<((int)size/(sizeof(int)));i++,bitmap++)
	printf("%d ",*bitmap);

Doesn't work. I get the first few int's fine, but then rubbish.
It looks like I get just the first row.

Help me out here!

Thanks in advance!
