Hi,

Does anyone know what format PackBits/UnpackBits uses ?
Inside Mac vI-p470 is no help at all.  Does anybody have
any C or Pascal code that "mimics" the two routines ?
Any idea where I could find some better documentation about them ?

I have to write such a routine on a non-macintosh (in order to unpack/pack
bitmaps/PixMaps in PICT files).

Thanks,
John
