Interesting
Further to Tom's suggestion, are the bitmaps all the same size ?
Another possibility would be to just have a few TBitmaps and to modify
them via the Scanline or using SetDiBits
Although it sounds laborious, it would all be boxed up, and copying
memory is pretty fast.
In the past under DOS I've built my own fonts for two colour graphics
mode, and the screens refresh like lightning - even on slow machines.
