A friend of mine was telling me that there is a feature on CompuServe that allows users to download graphic faces and actually "see" who they are talking to as they chat. He says that this was developed by the Macintosh users. He's currently writing a terminal program for his IBM PC that will emulate this mode, and it's all done except for one major problem. He can download the picture files from CompuServe, but he doesn't understand the format these files are in. He's tried basic decoding, but apparently all the files are in a very illogical arrangement. I was hoping some of you here would know the format (or where to find it) of these files. It'd be a shame if he got this far on the terminal prog only to be stopped by this. Any help is appreciated.
