Speaking from experience, yes, you need Paintkit to use a PCX paint job.
Once in the Paintkit program you have the option of importing a .PCX
design which is called EXPORT.PCX. Similarly, you can export any design
(into file EXPORT.PCX) to edit with another editor, which is what I do.
What you CAN do is send someone (like me!) the .PCX file uuencoded
through email, and they can import the design into a generic cars93.dat
and send you the resulting cars93.dat file (which is significantly
larger, 704k).
