Pasi Ojala (http://www.cs.tut.fi/~albert/Dev/) has written a version of gzip/pkzip/zip for the Commodore 64 in 6502 assembly. If the deflate methood (zlib) can be done in 16Kb then there is a way of doing it in fractint.
Maybe I spoke too soon. What I should have said was that it appeared to me that PNG couldn't be implemented in fractint using LibPNG. This disappointed me a lot, because I worked very hard to make sure Zlib and Libpng could be compiled in the medium model. Now I think it doesn't matter. If you can quickly cobble together a PNG encoder and decoder that would use no more memory than Fractint's GIF encoder and decoder, that would be interesting. But keep in mind that there is a lot of other functionality in Libpng that we would need beside the encoder and decoder. Rich has a point about not investing too much more time in the medium model. Once one is using a flat memory model, Libpmg works fine. Tim
