Hi,
Can someome please tell me how reading, and displaying a PCX works
under DJGPP v2.0 and GRX v2.0?  I know most of you might be
getting annoyed with my message, but I don't care.  Rather than
flaming me for this, just ignore this message.

Does reading PCX go like this:
Read the header (width,height,bits/plane,etc.)
Read the Pallete that's 768 byts before EOF.
Store the pallete values in an RGB array,
Use PutPixel equivalent function to display the pixel with the
colour from the pallete.

Is this how it works?  Please help me.
I don't know how the pallete, and the putting of pixel at an X,Y
location with a specified colour works.  Actually , I don't know
how most of it works.  I was able to use the PCX header to extract
the Width,Height,BPP, and version number, etc, but was stumpped
on the actual displaying part.

Bye!
Thanks!
