So many people have posted topics and have mentioned GLaux. They say that it is no longer used or updated or something. Then what other way is there to load bitmaps or other graphics. No amount of genius can overcome a preoccupation with detail.

the manual way, writing a bitmap importer is not that hard.

Just look at http://www.wotsit.org/ and have fun.

Geese. Writing one? I can''t even remember how to make a window! I just might stick with glaux for now... too painful to change all the stuff.

Use DevIL http://www.imagelib.org/
Or use NeHe''s IPicture Code

There are properly maney more - but these I know.
