A program to unpack and rasterize MacPaint bitmaps is  posted  to
net.sources. The program is similar in structure to the one found
in the Macintosh technical manual. The routine does include the C
version of UnPackBits routine, which, to my knowledge, is not al-
gorithmically defined anywhere.  The program internally  includes
a  character  and  a  plot filter to test that it works. There is
also a superb artwork called Horror Castle ((c) Ozan S. Yigit) in
HEX  format  for  your visual enjoyment. You will need to write a
small unhex routine to convert this thing to binary, but that  is
no sweat.

I would appreciate comments, bugfixes,  algorithmic  improvements
and  copies of any filters you may develop to output the macpaint
pictures to strange devices.

Oz      (wizard of something or another, no doubt..)
