- Hmmm. In case I wasn't clear in my original post, the gif2bmp utility is
- supposed to create OS/2 bmps, NOT windows bmps. That it does so is clearly
- verified by the vpic viewer util I use which displays the bmp just fine and
- says it's of type: OS/2 PM Bitmap. Still and all, I can't get it displayed
- correctly on the desktop background.
