I did try BMP reading for 3.5 on an XP machine, and it worked ok.

Well it's done by the BMPReadWriterPlugin. Since it was in-image code until 3.6, I guess the evidence comes from the changes file. Hmm, the plugin was added in update 4891 from code by Andreas dated 16 june 2002. This was nominally for 3.3a and I can't spot any difference with the code in my latest VMMaker file. I _have_ tested this on my Acorn and it works fine. I guess using the 3.2 vm means you're relying on the back up code. Obvious quick check is to comment out the primitive call in !BMPReadWriter methodsFor: 'reading' stamp: 'ar 6/16/2002 18:47'! read24BmpLine: pixelLine into: formBits startingAt: formBitsIndex width:
width
| pixIndex rgb bitsIndex | <primitive: 'primitiveRead24BmpLine' module:'BMPReadWriterPlugin'> pixIndex _ 0. "pre-increment" and see if all seems well. After that it requires someone to debug the code on a wondows machine...
