PACKPCX
-------
Command format : PACKPCX filename.pcx
where filename.pcx is the file to optimise
This program analyses any conventional 256 colour PCX file, regardless
of resolution, and creates a new version that can be 20%+ smaller.
The file name of the new version is derived from the original , with the
two characters "P_" added to the beginning. If this causes the file name to
exceed 8 characters in length, the trailing characters will be lost.
For example, HORSEBOX.PCX will become P_HORSEB.PCX.
The new image should be identical in every way to the first. PACKPCX
DOES NOT degrade the image in any way. The image size and colours used
remain identical. The only difference you will notice is that the file
may be smaller.
The best results occur on complex scanned images, containing lots of detail
and using all ( or most ) of the available 256 colours. Your picture of
a smiley face created in Windows Paint is unlikely to benefit !
