Hi there,

 is there anyone out there who could tell me how a .PCX

 file is formatted (e.g. for Zsoft, PC Paintbrush)?

 I'm currently trying to write a program to convert 

 320x200x256,640x350x16,640x480x16 .PCX files to monochrome

  bitmaps to be used on X windows but I'm having some

  trouble working out exactly how the palettes and maps

   are arranged.

 Thanks in advance.
