- I have a question regarding graphics formats for files. I am working on
- a landscape generator and am coming along very well. You can zoom through
- the terrain and rotate the map, but I would like to be able to save the
- graphics page to a common graphics file (.gif, .pcx...) but have as of
- yet been unsuccessful. Can anyone out there please help me out? Mail me
- direct or post, whichever you like.

- I have been successfull in saving and reloading pictures, but it is in
- a "house format", that is, it is not standardized, just something I came
- up with. It is an 8 bit file format and I think that I might have
- something close to a standard .BIF (binary file format.) Anyway, any help
- would be greatly appreciated. I am working in BP6 with a 386dx33mhz in
- VGA. Thanks in advance
