Does anyone out there know the algorithm that packbits uses on MacPaint files ?
I have downloaded some Paint files to our HP9836. So far I have been able to 
strip off the data fork on these files, finished the display program on the HP 
... but I just couldnt decode their packbits algo to finish this project.

Any sugestions or hints on this algorithm would be mucho appreciated ...
