I sympathize with you... I had a hard time finding the 3200 format too,
including having to put up with flack from II-only people who didn't appreciate
me reading the format on a mac.
Anyway, here it is:

typedef unsigned short paltype[16];
struct pict3200 {
	unsigned char data[32000];	/*the raw data from memory */
	paltype pals[200]
}
(Yup, it's that simple-- except for one catch.  The palettes are stored in
reverse order-- i.e.  pal[linenum][15] actually should be displayed
when there is a 0-valued nybble in the data, anv vice-versa)

If you find anything out about the compressed format, please let me know
(I haven't seen any pictures in it)
