Hi, this is the first time I have ever used these newsgroups so please if you want to flame me, send it to me here at /dev/null, otherwise (for instance if you have a comment), mail me at gt3635a@prism.gatech.edu. Anyway on with the question... I am working on a windows program to load in a PCX file (why windows uses PCX instead of GIF format I'll never know), but I need to find out how the data is stored in a PCX file and have been having lots-o-problems finding a reference. If someone could point me in the right direction (or send me the complete file format) I'd appreciate it. -Greg Bishop gt3635a@prism.gatech.edu Also please note my newsfeed and posting machine do not intersect on these groups so pleas mail me at my mailing address (above).
