Appendix G: The BMP File Format

BREW 1.0 relies entirely on the BMP format for bitmap graphics. BREW 1.1 and later revisions utilize a variety of different file formats. However, BMP remains a very simple and convenient bitmap file format supported by just about any current art package. This appendix describes the internals of the BMP file format for those who want more intimate knowledge of BREW's internals.
