Yeaperie. . . .

The first 'guess' I made at the format was . . since its 256x256
that amounts to a nice 64K file. . and the file sizes were about half
of this. . so I read in the file byte by byte in a C program. . .
128 bytes across and 256 lines down. . when the first nibble was the
color for the left pixel (16 shades. . ) and the other nibble was the
right pixel. . worked like a charm. . I just let the VID program grab
the images (I tried to disassemble it. .but it was written in a high
level language and the machine code is very messed up). . .I can post
the C file if anyone's interested. . .etc etc. . .
