Compulite are very keen to implement such a function, but how do we proceed?

you need to create a udp based protocol that requests a small bit map.

<poll request bitmap>
<library number>
<File Number>
<End message>

the reply from me is

<bitmap>
<library number>
<File number>
<Image size x,y dimensions, bit depth, rgb or rgba>
<bitmap data>
<end message>

might need some fiddling around with protocol to keep reply message length less than maximum size of a udp packet.
