	A Degas file (without animation data) is 32034 bytes long. The last
32000 bytes is the actual screen image. The first 34 bytes are the resolution
and the pallettes.
	The first word of these bytes is the resolution (0,1 or 2) and the
next 32 words are the pallette registers 0 to 15.
	I don't the format of the compressed files.

C source? ... Yeuch!
