ah, so it produces a c file with a constant, as mine :-)
but it makes a conversion of the stream, the one in the c file is not  
the one in the file it has red, if i understand

you must have been mistaken, weren't you ?

it could be very interesting, if there is the function used by  
gdk-pixbuf-csource to make the conversion :-)
so, we could read the file in ada, call this c function to make the  
conversion, then make an ada package containing the stream, as my  
program does :-)

i can help if needed, as the author of my prgm, but i don't know  
programming in c
