Ditto.  I might not release an actual graphical game, but I'd certainly play around
with the graphics if I could create them.

I actually do periodically try to walk through "pix2gif" to determine the file
format, but I somehow always get called away when I get to the actual graphics,
then manage to lose the work I had done.  I think I've identified the file headers
at least three times in the last five years...The most recent time, I even had code
to construct the "MG1" file, assuming I had the graphics available.

Eventually...
