In Win3.1 SDK, in the description of BITMAPINFO structure it is said:
"The bits in the array are packed together, but each scan line 
must be zero-padded to end on a LONG boundary. Segment boundaries, 
 however, can appear anywhere in the bitmap." It`s about DIB array bits.
What does 'zero-padded to end on a LONG boundary' mean ?
SetDIBitsToDevice does not display 258x265x8bit bitmap, but displays
204x293x24bit bitmap. 0xFFFF / 258 = 254 + 4 so the line begins in one segment and ends
in another, but 0xFFFF / (204*3) = 107 + 52 so this line also starts in one segment and
ends in another. So why 24bit bitmap is displayed and 8bit isn`t ?
I work under win16bit

Thank You
