In response to everyone asking how to compress title pictures, I decided to
write a simple RLE (run-length-encoding) compressor for 2-color, 1024 byte
pictures.  The displayer is only 35 bytes and is pretty fast.  I'd be happy
if anyone could offer any suggestions for improvement.

Since Bryan is gone and I tried sending this message twice with the file,
I'm posting it here:

Happy coding,
