Thanks. I'm happy to know it works.

Yes. I din't use the decoding portin of your code. I took the block 
handling code (ADVANCE_BLOCK) and part of the pixel write code, because 
prza shares the same 4x4 pixel logic with smc. I also took the chunk 
size code and the BE_* macros to be compatible with non-intel cpu, 
since I can't test it on big-endian machines. I changed the while 
logic, my codec works with length instead of block counter, because I'm 
not sure that a chunk have to encode all blocks (I think you can skip 
last blocks if you don't need to encode them in current frame. Please 
note that is my assumption, i have no evidence that the rpza encoder 
does it).

I downloaded the sample file form ftp, will look at it tomorrow.
