An easy to use function that corrects the bugs in 
the standard Blitz commands "SaveBitMap" and "SaveShape"

The bugs fixed are:

1} The optional CAMG chunk is now saved
   this will allow picture viewiers and art programs
   to determine the correct screen mode for the image
  -This also allows you to save HAM pictures

2} The correct image width is now saved with the picture
  -no more empty "blank" space on the right hand side

3} The destination volume is checked for enough free space
   before saving - no more program lockups if the disk
   doesn't have enough room for the iff file...

4} No "SetErr" error trap needed - Intuition will now
   automatically handle "Disk Write Protected", etc...

5} You can also save bitmaps created by the OS functions,
   as well as standard Blitz bitmaps...
