     Enclosed are ABC compression and de-compression modules, example
     programs, and an example image.  Both source code and compiled
     versions are included.

     To display and compress the example PCX format image, type:

                               PCX2ABC DIANA.PCX

     This produces a disk file called DIANA.ABC.  Compression statistics
     are displayed on screen.

     To view the compressed image just created, type:

                               SHOWABC DIANA.ABC

     A complete description of the compression algorithm is contained in
     ABC.DOC.

     Enjoy!
