Can anyone point me in the right direction? I wish to save my image buffer in multiple formats not just bmp and JPG. for egample I would like to save my image buffer as a monochromatic GIF or perhaps a PNG?

You can't, unless you code your own function to do so. And for that, you need to know the format of whatever picture file format you want to use. If you do know the format, then creating the file in a bank first and then sabing the bank to disk is one option. I'm there are a few poeple that have done something simliar, as recall posts of this nature. Can't point you to any at the moment though. Sorry.

www.wotsit.org will help with file formats

I'm pretty sure someone wrote a DLL, userlib or something to export PNG's. There's some code in the code archives to export TGA. After that it's up to your coding and Wotsit's resources.
