function [info,msg] = impcxinfo(filename)
%IMPCXINFO Get information about the image in a PCX file.
%   [INFO,MSG] = IMPCXINFO(FILENAME) returns information about
%   the image contained in a PCX file.  If the attempt fails for
%   some reason (e.g. the file does not exist or is not a PCX
%   file), then INFO is empty and MSG is a string containing a
%   diagnostic message.
