  Hey, does anyone have source code (preferably C, but really anything is okay)
for creating a GIF, JPG, etc out of the individual pixels?  I need to turn this
into something xv can read, and preferably something that has rle.

  Someone sent me a way to do this in PBM, but the final file is about 3x larger
that the _huge_ data I am working with in the first place.

  The reason I need to do this by pixels is because the data is large, and I can
only load in two or three video lines at a time.  All the code I have available
assumes that you want to save the image on the screen, but my display isn't even
capable of showing the resolution and color spread I want at the same time, so
I'm stuck.

  Any ideas?  (By the way, I can scan the data several times if need be, I just
can't have it all in memory at once)
