BMP2Hex is a small but easy to use tool for PocketC. It converts BMP's, GIF's and JPG's into the corresponding "string bits" parameter of the "bitmap()" function of "PocketC" (as of version 0.99) for the PalmPilot. RECOMENDED USAGE - GUI:

• Run the program and the PalmPilot Desktop
• Select the formatting option from the bottom.GIF
• Drag and Drop one or more graphical files anywhere in the program window or choose "File-Open". The program will generate and display the appropriate formatted string.
• Copy the string from the text and window and paste it into a memo in the PalmPilot Desktop
• When you HotSync, the string will be waiting for you.

RECOMENDED USAGE - Commandline tool:

• Usage: BMP2HexTool -b -q -o[option_integer] -i[inputfilename] -f[outputfilename], where:
  • -b = Break at 255 characters
  • -q = Add quotes
  • -o = Option number (default = 0)
    • 0 = Var Assignment : var = "XXXXXX"
    • 1 = String Function : filename(){return "XXXXXX";}
    • 2 = Bitmap Function : bitmap( x, y, "XXXXXX");
    • 3 = Quoted String : "XXXXXX"
    • 4 = Un-Quoted String : XXXXXX
• If the output file exists, it is overwritten.

Example: BMP2HexTool -b -q -o2 -ic:\foo.gif -fc:\foo.txt
