	I hav a little problem I am trying to solve with MS Paintbrush.
I have 70 .pcx files for use with Paintbrush. Each file is large enough
that when PB reads it in it truncates a large portion of the image(s).

	What I have been doing is spliting the files into 4 chunks,
in the ratio 1:2:2:2.  I then cat part 1 on to each of the other 3 and
then load each seperatly.  By doing this I get all the image(s) with
some overlap and noise at each end, of the image.  This works most
of the time, but occasionly the parts of the file I want are scrambled
or appear "wrapped around" the display.

	Needless to say this does not seem like a very good solution,
but I can't seem to figure out the header needed for the file or the
header for the display specs.

I am using MS Paintbrush Version 2 (1987-88) on with 640*480 16
colour VGA.  I can't find any reference to any of this in the docs
(no surprise really)

Anybody got any ideas or answers? Anything beats my present semi-
solution.

TIA
