Ah! that would explain why sometimes when extracting/Saving out a

expected.
An invention of Computer Concepts, originally Sprite files did not
contain dpi (dots per inch) data, so they saved them as Draw files
to retain size information.
If I can't use BMP files, what can I use when constructing Win
side? Jpegs are a nono for the obvious degradation issues
Unless you turn up quality to 100%.
That aside, Like probably many others here I'm exceedingly glad
you did develop it.
Nice to know. I occasionally wonder if people would have been happy
for four years more work on the RISC OS version instead.
Please wonder no more. It's extremely valuable, I find, to have a DTP
program that works in both RISC OS and Windows mode. Like Dave Symes
I have VRPC and switch easily from one to the other, using the best
or easiest of both worlds. Both programs much appreciated. I marvel
that an originator can find time to develop the software along the
lines that users suggest.
I might have a look at providing the .bmp filter for Windows, since
that would make things totally automatic.
I'm another one who'd appreciate that.
