ZPic83

Hi guys,
Just poking through my old projects and I found zpic83 - an image compressor with an on-calc decompressor.
I never developed it to the point I would have liked but I thought, why keep it to myself?
The file can be downloaded here.
zpic83.exe can also be used to generate uncompressed images and is more forgiving than pic83 with regards to the image format (IIRC: pic83 required 1-bit PCX file... zpic83 doesn't care about colour depth).
It can take images of any size, but the decompressor will just output a flat stream of data, so it's only really useful for full-screen pics.
I actually wrote an on-calc compressor, which I still have, but it still needed a bit of work. Maybe once I've got the 3D engine out of the way I will take another look at it.
