Hi,

bitmap as defined in IOI comps is an n-dimensional matrix-map where every
node in the map (i.e.: block) is represented in a minimalist fashion using a
binary state. I don't think anyone can trademark or patent the name, idea or
concept of a bitmap. They may however patent and/or trademark variants,
derivatives of bitmaps, which in that case I think we should phonetically
translate whatever name they have chosen into Persian, other than that I
don't see why we can't come up with original, interesting, awe-inspiring
equivalents in Persian. :)

PS: bitnaghsh sounds a "bit" odd, Does anyone know the TRUE
      Persian translation for bit ?
