OK, silly question time.

How do you create a title screen from a graphics picture (any file format)?

A compatriot has a .TIF file, converted to .PCX, and wants to display it at 
the beginning of his program - either for a specified period of time or as 
a backdrop to some intro information.  How should he store the picture and 
display it?  Where is there C code that will display a graphics file under
your programs control?  Is it simple enough to RTFM? which FM?  Would some
product like PCX Toolkit work? (I'm not familiar with it).

Just mail me any info you have and I'll summarize what I get in a post to
the net for the benefit of all those out there who don't think this is a 
silly question.  (There are some of you out there, right?)
