    BMP30FMT.TXT) in any distribution, with the copyright notices intact.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Source code for two FORTRAN subroutines are provided, BMPREAD and 
  BMPWRITE, which read and write Windows device independent bitmap [DIB]
  graphic files, respectively. With BMPWRITE, FORTRAN programmers can now 
  easily turn their data arrays into bitmap graphics files which can be read 
  by numerous graphic file viewers and editors. With BMPREAD, you can read 
  existing bitmap files and use the power of FORTRAN for image processing.
  Most graphic file viewers and editors can read and save files in any one 
  of many graphics file formats, such as GIF, TIFF, JPEG, PCX, etc., making 
  these subroutines the only bridge between raw data and graphic file 
  standards you need. 
        
  Both files have been compiled sucessfully under MS FORTRAN v5.1 and 
  MS Powerstation FORTRAN (32 bit), although the Powerstation compiler will
  issue a warning stating that the [huge] attribute will be ignored, which
  is ok. Another file, BMP30FMT.TXT, paraphrased from a MS Knowledge Base 
  file, describes the Windows Bitmap v3.0 format itself. Instructions for 
  using the subroutines are included as comments in the source code.
