Does anyone know the storage format of pcpaint picture files? I have about 30 digitized pictures in pcpaint format, but I would like to write some sort of slide-show program for them. Could somebody could tell me the format of the data file and/or how to draw them on the screen without using pcpaint? (or, if there is already a slide-show type program for these pictures, could you mail/post or tell me how to get it?) Thanx in advance, -- Timothy D.

Please respond to the net as I am also interested. By the way the ENERGRAPHICS package has a slide show feature among other nice features. I don't have any ideas in what format those slides are however. They are created by the package. In case somebody is interested: Enertronics Research Inc 150 North Meramec Suite 207 St Louis, Missouri 63105 (314) 725-5566 I have no affiliation with Enertronics except as a satisfied customer.

PCPaint stores pictures in a 16k screen image format. I have successfully loaded them and fiddled with them from other programs. The utility I use for picture shows is Grafix Partner, which sits in memory like Sidekick, and allows you to capture any medium res image on the screen. Now that I think about, maybe I didn't use PCPaint's format, after all- only scarfed the pix with G.P. wait one... Just dropped out for a second and checked. Sure enuf, it works fine. I renamed sailing.pic from the PCPaint disk to sailing.bsv and the Grafix Partner "cycle" program displayed it just fine. Cycle allows you to make a list of pictures to show and how long they will be up. James Triplett
