source in any programming language works.
I just need to know the process of creating a pcx file.

I don't want to use a library, or anything, because I need to convert the source to visual basic 6.

I'm writing a tool, that needs pcx support, any help is most appreciated.

IIRC Allegro has a quite clean PCX writing routines, at least for some variants of PCX.

You could take a look there. I have no real idea what the license requires from you if you transcribe them to another programming language, so I can't say if the idea is useful for you or not.

IIRC = if I remember correctly

My memories may be wrong. It's been a while that I've looked at the Allegro sources, and there is a chance that I may remember incorectly. But if I'm right, Allegro has nice and clean PCX writing routines in C, and you could easily reverse engineer them and write them again in any other language or (license?) directly try to transcribe them to another language.

So go, take a look at your copy of the Allegro sources. It should take only a few minutes to see if I'm right and if you want/can use the code or not.

I think there's a spec on wotsit complete with sample implementation in C but it's quite simple todo anyhow.
