Does anyone know a good method to compress scanned pictures that does not
have the complexity of IFS. Packing may be slow, but unpacking must be
quite fast. Pictures are 16 colour/640 x 480 pixels.

On the subject of IFS: in "Computer Graphics, principles and practice"
by Foley et. al. IFS is mentioned in passing, about 4 pages.
