hey there, I'm having some trouble decoding the pcx header. I hunted down
the format and everything, but I still can't seem to be able to read the
dimensions of the image from the header. If anybody knows anywhere I could
get some info on doing this I'd really appreciate it. Basically, I've tried
reading it as a text file and as a binary file, and I've tried reading
character by character and through formatted input (ie using fscanf) but I
can't seem to get it to work. Anyway, thanks for any help you can offer.
