Hi Bryan, The files are converted from an early version of hppcl to pcx by a batch conversion program that runs in dos, it's ancient and I no longer remember where the two .exe files came from to do this, (possibly Orcad) I wrote a batch file to string them together back then.. (I've been using them for nearly 20yrs) The files are output from Orcad3 schematic capture. These files have always opened in every windows based viewer I have ever used and actually open fine in Gimp as well. I had not even considered the possibility that these files had some attribute that made them non compliant with the pcx file format. I could look for a recent windows based file converter and see if that produces files that are readable. In the meantime I will resave a couple of these files in gimp and see if gthumb can then read them. One other possibility is that they are normally stored on a dos partition (fat32), but this hasn't caused a problem with jpgs or anything else that I am aware of.
I would be happy to send you the batch file and exe configured to run in dosbox if you are interested, but I wonder if that would be useful at all.
