Please clarify how I can do it slow and clumsy.  The target that I am working with has a 480x640 LCD Display, But I am using it rotated 90 degrees.  I am currently using the BGI commands for setting the text.  Are you saying that I can just use the put pixel command?  Using a HEX editor I viewed the bitmap image and noticed that the first two bytes are BM.  If I were to read this into memory is there information on the format this is in?  Can you please reply.  Thank you.
Can you tell me a little bit more about what exacly you are trying to do. If I read your comment I assume you try to display a bitmap in a file. What type is it? (*.bmp, *.gif, *.tif, ...)
Every filetype has a header wich describes the format the bitmap is saved in. (i.e. number of bits per pixel, compression, etc).
