Hmm. History repeats :-) I already have a program which transforms the
simple binary format of my program's files to a C array. I think it can
be done using some standard programs as well.

If you want, I can go through the project again to tidy it up and send it
after Wednesday. It supposedly is more efficient than yours although I can't
say that I studied Gambas' drawing routines very well and I'm not up to date
with the recent changes... Anyway, then you can tune it to your needs?
