PCX2EXE (Arminio Grgic)
- See also the PCX2EXE disambiguation page.
PCX2EXE is a DOS utility that converts a PCX image file to an EXE file that, when executed, displays the image. It was developed Arminio Grgic and M&G Software. The documentation is apparently in Croatian or Bosnian.
This article is based on version 1.0β, the only known version.
PCX2EXE only supports PCX files that are exactly 320x200, 256-color.
An ANSI Art-like image can also be included in the file, to be printed to the screen as the viewer ends.

Format details
The generated files are compressed with a hacked variant of LZEXE format.
Identification
Undetermined. The first 7168 bytes of a generated EXE file are probably always the same, but most of that is compressed, or is common to many LZEXE-compressed files. There is some non-compressed, PCX2EXE-specific, code at the entry point (offset 7088) (refer to MS-DOS EXE#Special file positions), which might be useful for fingerprinting.
