The program is similar in structure to the one found in the Macintosh technical manual. The routine does include the C version of UnPackBits routine, which, to my knowledge, is not al- gorithmically defined anywhere. The program internally includes a character and a plot filter to test that it works. There is also a superb artwork called Horror Castle ((c) Ozan S. Yigit) in HEX format for your visual enjoyment. You will need to write a small unhex routine to convert this thing to binary, but that is no sweat. I would appreciate comments, bugfixes, algorithmic improvements and copies of any filters you may develop to output the macpaint pictures to strange devices.
