Does anyone have any documentation on PCX image decompression?

Wotsit lists it. Don't know how much help this'll be but it appears to be the spec for the format. http://www.wotsit.org/download.asp?f=pcx

Edit: That link doesn't work, thanks St0rm. Interested folks should go to http://www.wotsit.org/ and type PCX in the search box. The first result is the official doc, the second appears to be a 3rd-party guide to PCX and several other formats.

Actually you have to do a little bit more than that ;) The site checks to make sure you came from one of their file-type index pages.  Click on "full list" or "graphics list" and then paste it into the address bar.

I think I typed "pcx format" or something similar into Google and got plenty of documentation on it.  That was when I was reversing a Storm.dll function, to make sure I was in the right one.
