A while ago, I asked for info on the PCX graphics file format, and also
on the VGA (fast programming techniques). My summary:
PCX file format:
Used by PC Paintbrush program, supported by ZSoft Corp.
Zsoft has a BBS, download TECHREF.TXT -- this has the file format defined.
The ZBBS phone number: 404-427-1045 and 404-424-3146 (300/1200/2400/9600PEP)
I have a copy of TECHREF.TXT, and can email on request.
