But if you work with V4RB you WILL HAVE the same code for both platforms!!!
This is why INTERNALLY we work with PICT/DIB.

YOUR code will NOT work with PICT/DIB directly.
Your REALbasic code works with RB's picture type.
You see?

Yes.

At least this will be easier to do now.

In Valentina 1.x you also could do this, just you self was need read from
blob and write to file. And if BLOB is big then you may need loop.
Now Valentina do this self in single command.
