bmp is obsolete.


In a Mac OS, BMP isn't even the native image container. So, I would be
obvious that most, if not all of Mac softwares don't use BMP.

In Windows however, not so. BMP is the native image format in that OS. i.e.
used by the graphic kernel.


The information in the graphics RAM while a picture is on screen -
whatever the OS - is going to be raw image data, regardless of how it
was saved to or loaded from disc.


correct.

(What _is_ the "native" format for
Macs then?)
