I am attempting to write my first graphics game, so forgive me if
this is a simple question.

I am using Microsoft C 7.0 on a 386SX. The basic thing I want to do is
to use getimage and putimage to move images around. The images are small
(20 pels by 20 pels), so speed is not a problem. However, I don't want
to create the images and then use getimage to get it. I would like to save
the image to a hard drive, then just read it in and putimage it on the
screen. 

Any ideas on how to do this?

I tried the simple approach: usr fopen and fwrite and write out the data
stored by a pointer defined in a getimage call, then use fread and putimage
on the file. Putimage returns 0, but nothing gets displayed.

Any help, pointers, references, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
