Extract image from FRX to image file?

 Extract image from FRX to image file?

Does anyone know how to extract an image from an FRX file
into something that can be opened up by Paint Shop or some other
image editor?   Using such a tool to "recapture" the image
doen't seem to be getting it right.

My client had some nice artwork done, but no one knows where the
BMP files are any more.

What we've got are the pictures in pictureboxes.

The most important one happens to be the only thing in one FRX file,
but I can't seem to get PaintShopPro to open the FRX, though I tried
the simple stuff like changing the extension to those of several different
kinds of files PSP does know.

Well, you're not much off. All you need to do is to write a tiny little
util that read the FRM, reads at which offset in the FRX the image for a
particular control is stored, read that image, and write it to a file.

I have some source code floating about -- I can send it to you on request.

No, thanks - someone wrote to suggest I try the SavePicture statement,
and the task is now completed.

Funny, I recall reading about it, but never used it before.
(thanks, wwk!)
