Hi:

   I need to read camera images into BB. The format is any of the
following: tiff, Windows bmp, or png. Is there a module around
that can accomplish this?

Note, I do not need to just show the image. I need to read the
numbers byte by byte into the pascal array and then I need to
manipulate the numbers. Thus, I need to extract the original numbers
from the above graphics formats. Since I have a choice which format
to use, I need to deal with just one of the above formats.

Alternatively, a description of the internal structure of those formats
would be helpful such that I can decipher them myself.

Thank you,

Wojtek
