Creating Bitmap databases

DBFax can use any bitmap stored in the Pilot resource format.

I've not written any sofware yet to create those databases, but playing with some development tools for the Pilot, you can create a bitmap database.

Lets call Bitmap<n>.BMP the files containing your bitmaps.

To use one bitmap in the header, for example you can call your bitmap using the tag

&BMP(FAXBMP,1500)

I'm aware that this process may be complicated but it is very room effective (for the memory required on the Pilot) and can be simplified by a simple program. If anybody wants to write something to make this easier, he is welcome.
