See the HTML bit in the name of this newsgroup. This [usually] implies web.
For web we use JPEG, GIF or PNG.

If you want specific details on how to save BMP files then you are probably
better off in one of the microsoft groups. Either that or do what google
groupers never seem to be able to do: google for it. "bmp 8 bit rle" gave me
19,200 hits. Add the word "editor" and it narrows down to 8,990. Surely one
of them might give you a clue.
