I was rather thinking about device depended bitmaps...

If there's a common single accepted format for a certain target then
it would seem reasonable to me to just add support for that format to
the TGI driver for that platform.

On the Apple2 there's such a format, but it's only for the full
graphics screen while here it's - afaik - about bitmaps in arbitrary
sizes. And the converters I know of for the Apple2 only process full
screens too.

Best, Oliver
