	I have written code that seems to read in the first 128 bytes, 
which is the header for the pcx file. But when I look at it, it's 
gobble-de-gook, you can't read it. I've even tried reading it as a pcx 
structure. All my reads were done on the file opened in binary mode. Once 
I read in the header via binary, it even shows as garbage when I try to 
access individual header elements via my structure member variable after 
reading it into the structure. Can anybody tell me what's wrong?
				
						Thanks,
