        nRet            Return code of R_PCXInfo()

                        The values and descriptions of this return code are
                        defined in RPCXLib.CH :

 Description
        Using the R_PCXInfo() function makes it possible to get information
        about a PCX-file before displaying it.
        For example you can see what kind of graphic adapter is needed
        to display the specific picture.

 Example
        See PCXDemo.PRG
