Yes, I just checked. As long as I include the palette, bitmaps and shapes
saved with the normal Blitz commands load fine into MultiView, PPaint,
Dpaint, Brilliance, and ImageFX. Don't know about FastView - I don't have
it...
As far as the "SavePalette" command, it is meant only for saving palettes to
load back into a Blitz program... To save a palette as an actual IFF
palette file, like you can with a paint program, use the RI "SaveCMAP"
command instead...
Later...
