FORMAT FOR BITMAP

This note describes a proposed format for storing simple bitmaps (
bit per pixel) in a file. These files may be very large and
intent is to use this format for short term storage and passing
between closely coupled programs. The data in the file should
stored in 8-bit bytes (octets). Bitmaps may be any size

The first 4 octets of the file gives the width of each line (
direction), and the next 4 octets should give the number of lines
the display (length, y direction). After this is one octet for the
increment and one octet for the y increment. Following these 10
octets is the bitmap itself. The length and width fields
stored most significant octet first

The x and y increment octets tell how much space is between pixels
For an ordinary display, both these would be one

Each line of the display should be scanned from left to right.
lines should start at the top and work down. Each line in the
should end on an octet boundary. If the width of the display is
divisable by 8, the rest of the last octet should be filled
zeros on the right

Below is a representation of a bitmap file (each square is
octet):

----------------------------------------------------------
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| width | width | width | width | length |
----------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------
| 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
| length | length | length |x-increment|y-increment
----------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------
| 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15
| data | data | data | data | data...
----------------------------------------------------------

For example, bitmaps from the RAPICOM 450 can be in Fine Detail
Quality, or Express Mode. In Fine Detail mode the x-increment
y-increment would be 1, for Quality mode, the x-increment would be 1
and the y-increment would be 2, and for Express mode, the x-

would be 1 and the y-increment would be 3. For these bitmaps it
intended that each scan line be repeated y-increment times when
are displayed

if you see any problems within the linking, don't worry be happy,
this is version 0.1 of the Relevance System and you gotta expect some crappy subroutines sometimes,
just be content we did not write this in Java, which would have made this "bigger and better" HAHAHHA.
