  DPaint II also ignores the CAMG chunk.  I did some searches through it with
an editor able to handle binary files and 'CAMG' was nowhere to be found.
I did see CAT and LIST, but it doesn't seem to handle either one properly.
It doesn't like my 16x1x1 picture either.  It loads it, but the bottoms of the
menus are cut off and it eventually crashes.  Some other viewer programs I
tried this file on crash while trying to load the picture.  One other
interesting thing I saw: along with the familiar directory names like
"lo-res", "interlace", etc., was one for "hold-mod".  I wonder when they'll get
around to implementing this?
