- I've used the PCX Toolbox with good success in one of my contracts. The
- program support provided with the toolbox gives you all the functionality
- you're looking for, plus some neat extras. You can purchase it in binary
- object files or with source code. I got mine from the Programmer's
- Connection down in the states. (1-800-225-1166). Your mileage may vary.
