I was curious about PIC files too ... I seem to remember that MTV's
ray tracer outputs them.  Is that true?  (The files I'm thinking of
have the image width and height present as a text string, with a
space between the two numbers and a carriage return following the
height, followed by RGBRGBRGBRGB... for all the pixels, top to bottom.)
Is this a standard file format?  Somehow I get the impression that
there are several "PIC" file formats.  I was wondering if someone
could shed some light on this -- I've been using the above format
for a lot of my work.
