Here are two routines I've just finished writing:
They're a PCX and a GIF loader. They work exactly the same way as
read_bitmap(), and return the same format or error codes.
If you get any errors using these, send me the EX.ERR file, and the
picture too. (if it's a reasonable size).

Actually, the bug isn't in my routine. It's in the Test.ex file
Robert Craig wrote.
The RGB palette values range from 0-255, just like read_bitmap(),
but the all_palette() command expects them to range from 0 to 63,
so you must use a line like this:
all_palette(image[1]/4)
which Robert Craig forgot to do. :)
