If you need to make more PIC files for testing, you can use this tool for MS-DOS:

What encoding do these text files use?

How do I convert 16-bit color to 24-bit RGB? I'm mostly concerned with the "bright" bit.

I'm not sure too. My educated guess is that the "I" bit act as a common least significant bit for all three colors (R,G,B).

You can check if recoil is rendering the images properly against how the Susie Image Viewer shows them. Susie opens most of the Japanese image formats.

Thank you, that was fascinating because the format is unusual and the doc is in Japanese. :)

I handle 15 and 16 bits per pixel. If you have other variants, please let me know.

Found 4- and 8-bit PICs in ticket #12, handled.
