	If memory serves me correctly, the StartupScreen format that has been
constant until the Mac ][ is basically a MacPaint document WITHOUT the 512byte
header.  The Mac ][ however will also recognize StartupScreens which are stored
as a PICT RESOURCE of ID#0 in the file named StartupScreen.  The reason for the
new format is so that 1) you could have color StartupScreens and b) so that
you could have a WHOLE SCREEN startupscreen.
