   This is a unit to read .PCX files and put them in displayable form. The
   actual work of decoding the file and moving the data into memory is done
   in assembler. Version 6 of Turbo Pascal is required for compilation.

   The following display modes are supported:

          Mode      TP GraphMode     Resolution    Colors
          ~~~~      ~~~~~~~~~~~~     ~~~~~~~~~~    ~~~~~~
          $04       CGAC0 to C3      320 x 200         4
          $06       CGAHi            640 x 200         2
          $0D        ---             320 x 200        16
          $0E       EGALo/VGALo      640 x 200        16
          $10       EGAHi/VGAMed     640 x 350        16
          $12       VGAHi            640 x 480        16
          $13        ---             320 x 200       256

   Mode $13 is supported only for files containing palette information,
   i.e. not those produced by versions of Paintbrush earlier than 3.0.

   The unit has been optimized for speed rather than flexibility or
   compactness. In particular, the routine for displaying 16-color files
   (which require the most computation) has been improved and now runs
   about 50 percent faster than that in version 2.

   It is assumed that the image is the width of and no taller than the
   screen, and that you will set the correct display mode. No checking
   is done to see that the .PCX file is compatible with the mode you've set.
   You do, however, have to pass in the Turbo GraphDriver as a parameter
   for all but 256-color files, so that the data will be interpreted
   correctly. (For mode $0D, pass in 'EGA' or 'VGA', and see the comment on
   palettes, below.)

   For the CGA formats, the data is put into two buffers on the heap, from
   where it can be moved into the two display memory banks. See SHOWCGA for
   an example. You can of course alter the unit to move the data directly
   into display memory, but there is no great saving in time.

   For EGA and VGA formats, the data is written to page 0 of the video
   buffer. This can easily be changed by setting "page_addr" to a different
   value. Three different techniques of hiding the image while it is being
   written are demonstrated in SHOWEGA, SHOWVGA, and SHOW256. If for any
   reason you don't want to do this, you will want to rewrite the palette-
   interpretation routines as separate procedures so you can set the
   palette before decoding the image data.

{-------------------- Decipher EGA/VGA palette --------------------------}

(* The palette information is stored in bytes 16-63 of the header. Each of
   the 16 palette slots is allotted 3 bytes - one for each primary color.
   Any of these bytes can have a value of 0-255.

   For the EGA there are just 4 significant settings, since only 64
   different colors (4 x 4 x 4) are available. Hence for EGA-format images
   we divide the codes by 64. The absolute color number for the palette
   entry is derived by setting one of bits 0-2 and one of bits 3-5 with the
   mask corresponding to the .PCX code byte. (In binary form, the absolute
   color number may be thought of as 00RGBrgb.) This number is then passed
   into Turbo's SetAllPalette procedure.

   For the VGA things work differently. Here we must use Turbo's
   SetRGBPalette procedure to change the red, green, and blue values in the
   16 active color registers. The registers expect values in the range 0-63
   (64 x 64 x 64 = 256K, the number of possible colors), so we divide the
   .PCX codes by 4. A further complication is that by default the palette
   entries point to the color registers corresponding to the standard EGA
   colors, so we must change them to point to registers 0-15 instead (or
   else modify registers 0-5, 20, 7, and 56-63). See SHOWVGA.PAS for an
   example of how to set the palette and the registers.

   Note that the palette works differently for the 200-line 16-color modes,
   $0D and $0E. Because these modes use 4-bit palette entries, only the
   default colors are available on the EGA, and their IDs don't correspond
   to those in 350-line mode (e.g. 20 is bright red, not brown). Attempting
   to set the palette with the data from the .PCX header will lead to odd
   results in these modes, and in any case should not be necessary.
