Au contraire! Bitmaps (i.e., files with the extension .bmp)
compress 
just fine. I just created an image of my desktop (using PrntScrn)
and 
saved it as a BMP file of size 770K. Winzip compressed it to a 
measly 27K. A colleague once created a Powerpoint session that
included 
several BMP images of web pages; the final ppt file was 2MB in
size, 
but it compressed down to 100K.
