Back In the Saddle!
Just heard from CK that my new (corrected) bmp export method worked. He's got a background, needle & needle mask on the screen. Yep - feels good.
I had found posts that the new GIMP version (2.8) has issues exporting to older bmp formats. One individual actually went back to 2.6 as a workaround. What I had to do, however, is so simple it's kind'a embarrasing. The following worked for me . . .

except that last part, check "Do not write color space information".
Bmp format standard? I actually know a little about this issue. There are so many "flavors" I'm not sure the term "standard" is even appropriate.
Yippee!

I also went through and deleted the older models that were associated with this package from the library for you.
