- A while ago, I was writing a graphics conversion utility in AMOS (called
- Splitz V2.0) as an A-Level project. I bought a book called "Graphics File
- Formats" by Kay and Levine (McGraw-Hill published it, if I remember
- rightly). It had info on the main bitmapped formats, as well as
- structured (vector) formats. CGM was documented in there. You might like
- to take a look, if it would help you out.
