Hi, i was reading up on bitmap (mainly .bmp, with some
.wbmp) images last night and was wondering why
everything is stored backwards (e.g. BGR instead of
RGB and the bottom of the image first, instead of the
top)? Also would i need to pay a license if i wrote a
program to create .bmp files? My main aim is to write
a .bmp to (amiga) .iff format, but would love to add
full .bmp support to an art program i wrote for the
amiga and then stick it online (on Aminet.com ) for
other people to use if they wish. - Andrew B (via

Yes definitly existed..
Same case as a VT52.
Difference may have been
a) 12 x 80
b) Uppercase only
c) 20mA only.

This is the one that was on ebay. It was listed as a
VT50. It also
came with the VT50 engineering prints and a VT50
manual.
