I loved reading your long message.
It is very inquisitive.

The reason I didn't create a pcx file saver is because
there are more than one way to save a PCX file.
PCX files typically contain an EGA Palette not
a VGA Palette. Since I only know how to read the VGA
Palette I can't write a correct EGA Palette.

My point is that if I created a PCX Saver the PCX
files would only contain the semi-standard VGA palette
and would not contain the standard EGA palette as
it should.  This would be know problem for my loader
with Euphoria but it might and probably would cause
great trouble with other PCX loaders and editors.

Next point is you can already save images as BMP's
with little effort.  There are several shareware
programs that will load BMP's and save those images
as JPG, GIF, PCX, or practically any other form of
image.

LViewPro is a fine example.  If you haven't heard
of it, well you just did.  Surf the web using a search
engine such as www.hotbot.com or www.yahoo.com
ONLY two I can think of right now.

        GOOD Luck.
