[Gpsbabel-code] [PATCH] PCX5

[Alexander S. <ale...@gm...>]

Hello,

i am fixing a massive PCX5 reading problem with a single
file that i got to my hands. It a) had DOS file endings,
b) got a different lat/lon encoding (DEG-Formatcode),
c) had shortened lines which lead to massive random chars.

As i have seen there are programs around that really
can produce PCX5 version 2.00 trough 2.09 on users
demand, i do assume that the support for that format
in current gpsbabel is far from completeness. My patch
is more a work around for at least my specific problem,
but a finite solution (including fixes for rather more oddities
of PCX5 encoding software, like only 2 digits lon values)
would need a nearly total rewrite of that module. 
Maybe someday when there is need for someone.

As of now i would enjoy if you can agree incorporating my patch.

I have further attached a stripped version of my input testfile.
If you do want to use it with testo, then i dont expect it to be 
compareable when converted forth and back, but a one way 
conversion plus a compare would surely work for that file.
