The for loop checks it itself, but the last sentence may attempt to access array[-1]. -- jlr http://jlamas.blogspot.com/[^]

Here is another link about RLE. http://www.fileformat.info/mirror/egff/ch09_03.htm[^] John

No, to compress with rle you need at minimum 4 bytes (32 bits). I assume you read the article at http://www.arturocampos.com/ac_rle.html[^] about RLE. I also believe it explains rle compression pretty well. Do you have any specific questions about the article or rle? Is your problem homework or for some other purpose? I ask this because rle is definitly not the best algorithm to use. And there are several source code compression libraries that you can download and use for free. John

1. Don't put all variable declarations at the top of the function. C requires it, C++ does not, and it's ugly 2. ALWAYS give any variable you create a default value, when you create it. 3. Don't use crappy C FILE handles, use iostreams 4. Don't use a file extension with a known value and use it to store something totally different. 5. Don't integrate code into your code base if you have no idea what it does. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

What if I save the DICOM image as a text file? Will I be able to convert the text file to binary? If so how should I go about writing the program? Can debugging help?Or perhaps using the basic "printf" function to display teh pixels values if I know where the values are store. PLease advise.Thks.

Hi, does that means the whole program should be using DIB instead of MFC C++? The part on converting DICOM to raw format?

There is a DICOM RT group(dicomrt@yahoogroups.com), you might get your solution over there. - Nilesh "Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman. Believing what he read made him mad" -George Bernard Shaw
