just use gcp and require teh zcp library. do this:

gcp filename.85i g2 c
gcp filename.pcx g2 c

you now have a small .asm file called filename.asm which has your
compressed image (the .85i file). how small is it? you should be able to
get it to be about 400-500 bytes, possible smaller. I've actually gotten
some pictures down to 100 bytes =) try it out.
