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!
