The source code for FRACTINT, a public domain program which is available (with
source) on CompuServe and a lot of BBS's, has routines to load/save .GIF files.
Unfortunately they're in C, but they're not *too* long and as I recall they
would be pretty easy to convert.  Or of course you could just link them in as
_external_ if you have a C compiler.  Can't help with the PCX and whatever else
is was, sorry.

BTW, the FRACTINT source also contains tons of other neat stuff - *fast* math
routines, tweaked video modes on IBM VGA, lots and lots of fractal algorithms.
Current version is 11, as far as I know.  That was a few months ago, though.
