the pictures are in, or any details about file format itself.
It comes with a useful set of command line bitmap manipulation tools.

supported by the GBM.DLL (to/from a file).

I/O remapping is not supported due to language restrictions.
Now some image manipulations can be done like scale, reflect, rotate.
