I mean the format that ends in .raw. I think its called a headerless 
format.
I just looked at one made by paintshop pro in a text editor, and where 
it was white, was the text symbol for 255 and where it was black was the 
symbol for 0, this is ok as I will only be working with grayscale images.
I hope I'm not being too vague as this is only an inbetween step to what 
I hope to achive and would like to do most of it myself, but this has 
got me stumped.
I hope thats cleared the question up.

Thanks again for your time.
