Use -type palette to generate a 8-bit DIB. Currently ImageMagick does not support writing 16-bit DIB images.

Adding support for 16-bit DIB would take place in coders/dib.c as you probably know. Post your patches here and mention you are releasing them under the ImageMagick license and one of the developers will get them into the distribution.

Feel free to combine these coders if it makes sense to do so (i.e. BMP & DIB).

Thanks for the patches, we'll get them into the main ImageMagick distribution.
