Microsoft uses the concept of a "mask" color to create apparent
transparency.  However, the transparency is created by the application and
is not inherent in the bitmap AFAIK.

I know this is a little off topic...

Anybody have any BMP files with transparency and/or know of any application
that
can read/write bmp files with transparency?

Thanks,

Michael
