Hyoscyamine is isomeric with atropine, is       very poisonous, and is used as a medicine for neuralgia, like       belladonna. Called also {hyoscyamia}, {duboisine}, etc.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
device independent bitmap          (DIB) An {image} format in which the       sequence and depth of {pixels} in the file is not specifically       related to their layout in any particular device.   This allows       any device dependent bitmap (DDB) image to be converted to or       DIB format without loss of information, and this can then       later be converted to other DDB formats for, e.g., printing or       display.   Rather than requiring converters from each DDB       format to all other formats, only converters to and from DIB       are needed.          DIB images are normally transferred in {metafiles}, {bmp}       files, and the {clipboard}.          Transferring colour bitmaps from one device to another was not       possible in versions of {Microsoft Windows} earlier than 3.0.       {Application programs} can build DIB images without any       interaction with Windows.   If Windows lacks a drawing       primitive, the application can simulate it directly into the       DIB instead of using the existing {graphics device interface}       (GDI) primitives.   Unfortunately, under Windows versions 3.0       and 3.1, {GDI} cannot perform output operations directly to a       DIB.          Conversion between DIB and DDB is performed by the {device       driver}.   Where the driver does not have this facility, the       conversion is performed by GDI but only in monochrome.   DIBs       are slower to use than device dependent bitmaps due to the       conversions required.          (1996-09-20)
