Re: BMPs again:)

[Christian Gyrling <christian@gyrling.com>]

If you are so concerned with speed, I would suggest to write a program that
loads BMPs and stores them the exact way you are storing them in memory.
That way you can read a file in no-time. So, read the BMP into your own
struct and save that struct as is directly to a file.

Just a word of caution - "Don't optimize what don't need optimization"

> Sorry for asking such a boring question that has probably been asked and
answered a million times already but here goes.  I've read all those
tutorials on loading .bmp's and they all use the slow method of reading in
bitmaps using the LoadImage() function and all the windows garbage.  I would
like to know how to load one by reading it in.  Any good tutorials would
help too.  I'm using DirectX and I plan on using fread() but if you know a
better reading function that's fine with me.
