Hi,
I haven't switched to BIBM yet... still using BING 1.87, for that exact reason. I have a ton of BING images, and that incompatibility.
I think that, if I recall, they switched to using a new image format with Image for DOS/Windows/Linux awhile ago, which was incompatible with BING.
Then, with BIBM, as I understand it, it uses the IFD/W/Linux format, for the imaging functions, so the images created by BIBM are not compatible with BING and vice-versa.
As I said, I'm not using BIBM (yet), but I think that the above is accurate
