The best way to the *newest* info is to contact the people that created
the format and ask them for the current spec.

PCX

You can get general, somtimes out of date, but easer to understand
info by reading the documentation, and help files, that come with
some shareware products. Image Alchemy has a section on each image
format it works with.
