   Two more goofs in last version I uploaded.  "FourBits" sub, in the
call to the assembly language routine "ReadPix", correctly
passes the seg/offset of ColorBytes(0).  In the next line,
ColorWord% is set equal to ColorBytes(1).  Some dummy
snuck the "1" in.  That should be ColorBytes(0).  As it
is, you entirely miss the opportunity to compress the
first pixel of every row, but it would still be in the
saved file...
   Next, in "EightBits", is a section of code opening "256PRESS.GRF" and
checking it for length (existance), if exists, close and
erase, otherwise just close.  That whole section should be
removed. Leftovers from an earlier version I was
dissatified with.
Just creates a zero-byte file, unnecessarily.
   Like I said, someday I'm going to upload an error-free
posting, I just know it...<g>...|-}
