[ros-kernel] about RLE

[Jonathan Wilson]

can someone explain to me what needs doing as far as RLE support goes and 
just how much code we need for RLE?

Do we actually need to store bitmaps in RAM as RLE compressed?
Do we need to write RLE compressed bitmaps out and/or compress uncompressed 
data?

Or do we only need (to be compilent with windows) a way to handle existing 
RLE compressed bitmaps and to make sure that they get uncompressed on loading?
