Ok, I've been working on my program a lot and it now works... it 
currently outputs a bmp and the grayscale is scaled to 8bits, 
unfortunately...  I'll work with that for now and eventually, I will 
write Grayscale 16bit PNGs!

Though, there is something extremely strange about the image I get... 
First, I realized the countrys near Holland, etc, were "really" lower 
than sea level!  And second, holland is white, sea is gray, and land is 
black...  but in the alps, where the elevation is very high, it gets 
lighter...

I would have expected the land to be on the coast almost the same value 
as the sea, but there is a definite sharp change from light gray(sea) to 
dark gray(land), and that can be seen on all coasts...

I believe the sea has a special code, and should not be displayed like 
the land, I don't know...  I could send you a very small jpeg of some 
region of the result I get so you can see for yourself and this way 
maybe you'll understand what's happenning?

Thanks,
   Xilo
