Hey,

This is my program to convert BMPs to PICs on the TI-85.  It isn't the best way of doing it-- but it works.

Put the following files in their right places:

  CMDIALOG.VBX      \windows\system
  COMMDLG.DLL       \windows\system
  BMP85.EXE         \wherever\you\want
  README.TXT        Recycle Bin (in Win95)
  DECODE.85P        TI-85
  VBRUN300.DLL      \windows -or- \windows\system  (not included)

Instructions:
  1) Put DECODE on calculator
  2) Make your BMP be 127x63x2
  3) Run BMP85 and save file as PICC.TXT
  4) In TI Graph-Link software, convert PICC.TXT to PICC.85L
  5) Put PICC.85L on calculator
  6) Run DECODE, this will take 10..15 minutes (ROM ver 10.0 is a lot faster)
  7) StPic on calulator

Well, have a blast.  My next verson will directly convert a BMP to an .85I file.  That will come in a week or so.
