I seem to recall that it uses run length encoding, but I do not remember the exact format. Any help (pointers) are appreciated. Microsoft makes this information freely available for the asking. I called them a while back, and they sent me a floppy with the documen- tation for the Paintbrush and Show Partner file formats. (I am assuming that Microsoft Paintbrush and "PC-Paint" are the same program, or different versions of the same program. If this is not so, I apologize for having wasted this net.bandwidth. :-{) I e-mailed Mike a copy of this stuff. It is rather long, so I hesitate to post it to the net, but I'm willing to *mail* it to people who *mail* me requests.
