[C++] Beginning the process of icons.bni support

I've found all the necessary documentation on the file format, but what functions should I look into in relation to completing this task?

I've been scoping out fread().

Edit: this seems to be a pretty good link. ill try that out when i get home from work.

I guess my question now is, once I have the extracted targa file, do I save it to disk then use it? I never saw a saved targa file in other bot directories - so is there a way to save it in memory, or something then use it?

Decompress the Targa and create a bitmap of it, all in memory.
