Program designed to take a 24bit BMP file (with only black and white pixels) and to convert it 8 rows, by 8 rows into the "GPRINT" 8bit Hex sequence for Sharp PC-1600, PC-E500, PC-G850* also for "DEFCHR$" used by Casio PB-1000 , AI-1000 and PB-2000C
For Sharp PC-1600, the corresponding IOCS Function would be PRTGPTN @ 0x0154 or LOADLCD @ 0x0160
For Sharp PC-E500, the corresponding function is when you write on STDO:SCRN:, Command Display 8-bit pattern @ 0x4a
For Sharp PC-G850 / G850V / G850VS, the corresponding IOCS Function would be Print 8-Bit Pattern @ 0xbfd0
(Data taken from the respective Tech or Usermanuals)
Program will work on little-Endian Architectures. Compilation tested on gcc (latest 8.*) under Linux and under MINGW64 under Windows
