Run Length Encoding Bitmaps

[K e n]

Hello folks.

I'm currently toying with an old Windows 3x build, & have downloaded

a program { XnView } that has allowed me to uncompress & modify an

rle bitmap that was compressed.

I have found that the bitmap needs to be re-compressed in order for the

operating system to display during the booting process, XnView doesn't

give me the option of re-compressing it.

I have searched the web now for a few nights but have come up empty

handed, { maybe using the wrong search terms }

Has anyone here ever played with compressed bitmaps with the rle

extension that could steer me in the right direction about re-compressing it..

Thanks...
