- There is a ShowPCX available on the nets, but it only handles 16 color
- pics and doesn't do that great a job. I work with PCX images on the PC
- and have written viewers and conversion programs which run under MS-DOS
- and Windows. It should be relatively easy to write a view for the Amiga,
- perhaps using HAM mode to compensate for the lack of 256 colors. I have
- not been writing anything for the Amiga for a while and won't kid myself
- into thinking that I could just whip one up. But, if there are any Amiga
- programmers who want to attempt a viewer, I'd be happy to provide the C
- source for reading the files.
