A (Windows or OS/2) .bmp file consists in a header followed by
datas. The datas are exactly what is displayed at the screen
by the Windows (and probably OS/2 as well, but I did not care to
check carefully) demo driver used for the test programs.

The header is a structure (of type BITMAPFILEHEADER if I record
correctly), whose fields are to be filled with the adequate values
(look in your online documentation).

Save (fwrite to a binary file) in order header then data, and you
are done.
