(I think in that last line, you mean "$C0"?)  Anyway, you'd have to get the
docs on how those $C0 (compressed) pics are compressed and write a routine to
uncompress them after you've loaded them into memory, then move the
uncompressed data to the $E12000 bank of memory.  I think there's a tool
(PackBytes?) that will pack and unpack chunks of bytes and if I remember
correctly, those $C0 pics are packed with this tool.  Any know?
