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). Regards, Michael Bolin

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. :) Regards, Michael Bolin
