Description
This is an older format, but it would be nice to support for the sake of completeness. I still have these files on my harddisk.

Research direction
Start by reading the PCX format description on Wikipedia and the referenced pcx.c implementation, then inspect CELTIC.zip as a sample input. Done means OpenImageIO can read and process the supplied PCX files with appropriate format support and validation.
