; Tiny PCX Viewer v1.13
;
; PCX Viewer in only 136 bytes!
; Displays 320x200x256 PCX files only.
;
; Syntax: PCX filename.pcx
;
; Note: Error checking is very sparse (what can you expect in 149 bytes ;-)

; This program was written as a answer to the challenge put up
;  by someone who said that his viewer was the smallest (184 bytes)
;
; Can anybody answer us ? We are listening.   ;-)
;
; This code is released into the public domain. Use as you please.
;
; This is the result of our first attempt at displaying PCX files and
; it took us only 3 hours!
;
; Compile with TASM after enabling multiple passes to filter out the
; extra NOPs. Link with Tlink
;
; Coming next: Tiny BMP!   (We think so)
;
; If you can get a smaller viewer, we would be happy to take a look.
;
; With special thanks to Devesh 'Devilish' Agarwal, SysOp, INFOMART BBS,
;  for opening up the System Programmers forum where the best brains
;  hang out. Special thanks to the Shrinker Mathisen for shrinking 13 bytes !
;
; Also thanks to Srivatsa K. Srinivasan (vatsa@poboxes.com) for letting
;  us know about the challenge.
