I  am  looking  for  information  on  the  file  format  used  by
Micro-Illustrator.  I have the cartridge for my 800 that uses the
PowerPad  touch  tablet  as  the  input device, and also have the
public-domain Paint!  program that uses a joystick.  I would like
to  be  able to convert pictures from one format to the other and
also do things like add text to the pictures, and do some kind of
screen dump to printer program.

The  Paint!   program seems to store in a straight forward screen
dump  format  with  some  bytes  for  preserving the screen color
registers  tacked  on.   The  Micro-Illustrator, however, must be
using some kind of compression algorithm, as the file size varies
with  the  amount  of  detail  on  the screen.  Can anyone out in
Netland provide the details of the format?
