- PACKPCX
- -------
-
-
- Command format : PACKPCX filename.pcx
-
- where filename.pcx is the file to optimise
-
-
- This program analyses any conventional 256 colour PCX file, regardless
- of resolution, and creates a new version that can be 20%+ smaller.
-
- The file name of the new version is derived from the original , with the
- two characters "P_" added to the beginning. If this causes the file name to
- exceed 8 characters in length, the trailing characters will be lost.
- For example, HORSEBOX.PCX will become P_HORSEB.PCX.
-
- The new image should be identical in every way to the first. PACKPCX
- DOES NOT degrade the image in any way. The image size and colours used
- remain identical. The only difference you will notice is that the file
- may be smaller.
-
- The best results occur on complex scanned images, containing lots of detail
- and using all ( or most ) of the available 256 colours. Your picture of
- a smiley face created in Windows Paint is unlikely to benefit !
