Does anyone out there know the algorithm that packbits uses on MacPaint files ? I have downloaded some Paint files to our HP9836. So far I have been able to strip off the data fork on these files, finished the display program on the HP ... but I just couldnt decode their packbits algo to finish this project. Any sugestions or hints on this algorithm would be mucho appreciated ... upl@gumby.wisc.edu c/o Mike Huynh
