This is probably one of these truly perennial requests: I am using a program which saves screens in "PCX format". I'd like to be able to use this images in my own programs. My enquiries have only produced "viewers" -- self-contained programs which display pictures in various formats. I also have a description (hardly self-explanatory) of the PCX format, and am on the point of hacking up a mess of assembler or C code to decode the file and display it on a VGA. However, I thought I would avoid re-inventing the wheel and appeal to the net: is there publicly available assembler routines or C code -- even well-documented anything-else code, I can translate -- to display these images on a VGA? Please respond by e-mail: I don't read this newsgroup much, and it keeps the place clean. If there is much interest, I'll post a summary. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Librik | LD HL,3C00H Internet: d-librik@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu | LD DE,3C01H UUCP: {uunet,att,iuvax}!uiucuxa!d-librik | LD BC,03FFH JANET: nsfnet-relay::edu.uiuc.cso.uxa::d-librik | LD (HL),20H ------------------------------------------------- LDIR ------------------------
