It uses some windows bitmap structures, and cannot be compiled on Linux as is.
For the rest it compiles 100% fine. You could cut&paste the needed
definitions from the windows unit and put them between
{$ifndef win32}..{$endif}

But you will not find it to your liking. Contrary to my earlier
statement (based on the paszlib units) it is not TP style, but uses
Delphi style to do the streaming.
