For the life of me I can't understand how you conclude that the PNG
format doesn't include specifics for decoding.  And I don't really care
how you are coming to the misunderstanding because you are being
insulting.

No, I won't.  I already wrote an implimentation and I understand how the
parts are related.  You are working under the misconception.  But most
of all, I won't respond to being spoken to like this.

I would help corrct your misnderstanding here, but it is impossible to
discuss this with you without being abused... and so I chose not to.

Deal with the part where you are being insulting first and only then can
we discuss the second part.
