[RESOLVED] Reading RLE encoded bitmaps with Quick Basic 4.5/Qbasic 1.1

[Peter Swinkels]

I have been trying to extend my bitmap reader which can already display RGB encoded bitmaps so it can display RLE encoded bitmaps as well.

The program can display Test1.bmp (see attachment for the files mentioned) fine, but, it cannot display Test2.bmp properly while the difference between the two is that only two pixels are in different places inside the image. The attachment also contains Test3.bmp which the program displays as a nearly unrecognizable mess.

The Documents subdirectory in the attachment contains documents with information about the bitmap file format. I downloaded these from http://www.wotsit.org.

If any one can help me to get the bitmap reader to display RLE encoded bitmaps properly it would be appreciated.

EDIT:
I updated the bitmap reader. This time it gets Test3.bmp almost right. If some can help me make almost completely...

EDIT II:
Closed this thread and removed the attachment. (I haven't done anything with this for years now.)
