  I have now received the ZSoft "tech ref manual".  Altho it is certainly
  very helpful, I must say that it left much to be desired.  There were
  gaps in the details as well as some obvious errors.

  The manual only documents .PCX files and bit-mapped font files.  I haven't
  taken the time to see if .PCC files are similarly structured.  And I expect
  that stroke font files have a more complext structure.

  If there is any interest, I'd be happy to email or post a summary of what
  I've learned about the structure of .PCX files.
