Janne, I think that at the very minimum a generic decoder class would need to have the following fuctions: ::setDataSource (std::istream& is); // Set the data source that handles feeding of data to the decoder (e.g. reading a file, feeding raw memory, reading a socket, or whatever). This could be a custom class or someting as simple and standard as a C++ istream. ::decodeRow (BYTE* pData, UINT* uiBytesInOut); // Read one "row" of strip or tile data ::skipToEOL (); // Eat data until the next EOL ::setXXX () // Misc functions to configure the decoder, e.g. ::setByteAlign (bool set = true); ::setFailOnBadData (bool set = true); Best regards, Peter Nielsen
