When I import an image with myGraphics = Import[imageName, "BMP"] the
image size is wrong. (It should be 512x384, but Mathematica reads only
94 lines of 512. The image is created by some proprietary software on
Woindows, but I have no trouble reading it in IrfanView (a popular
shareware windows image tool). If I read the image in IrfanView and
save as a jpeg, I can read the resulting jpeg in Mathematica with no
problem. Math says it "supports Windows device‐independent
bitmaps that are compressed using run‐length encoding."
IrfanView says the image is uncompressed. I am Using Math 5.0.1.0

Any clues out there?
