1. PCX_Load(er)
Who will be willing to pay for a PCX file loader.
Written entirely in Euphoria.
It returns information in the same format as the
Bitmap loader that is already part of Euphoria.
PCX files also have RLE incorporated into them.
I haven't designed a fucntion for saving files in
PCX format. BUT that would be that hard to
create from the information I have on the format.

I'd pay for a GIF loader. PCX and BMP sucks and GIF is my native format.
I can supply all the file format specifications.
I'd pay for a JPEG loader too.

No. I like the way how we share our .EX code among us; except those
who are already asking money for their 'projects'. It is a
development I dislike. If we are going to ask money for our code we
will turn into a commercial spiral. In that case I think that the
sharing principle of Euphoria code is in danger.

its a shame whoever (microsoft...) invented BMP's didn't think
'common' people can actuly run out of hard disk... PCX's are a bit the
same...

also... have you seen the size of a PCX compared to the same thing in a
JPEG, or a GIF even?... and BMP's seem to be worse :(
But with Jpegs being compressed i think a jpeg loader/saver might be
rather dificult... you'd have to uncompress it then decode it...

will go check it out :)

True. If this were a perfect world, we could all share code. However, the
last time I checked (around 1942), it wasn't. Some people require (or really
want) money, and deserve it with the hard work they do, like Packard and
probably Hilley. If you don't like Hilley or anyone else commercializing a
project, just don't send them money. Simple.

Sorry Guy's, I got a flu and was a week out of the running. Apologies
for not answering messages not in time or maybe in the right order.

Yes, I'm aware of this; 1959 was a better year but what you mentioned
was still not present.
