Hi all,

	This has been discussed before, but anyway...

	The "problem" with DPaint III picts is the DPPS chunk. It's chunksize
is only 2 bytes. This screws up IFF reader programs because they expect
everything to be in nice 4 byte chunks. The DPIII are LEGAL IFF formatted
files. The code to read the files has to modified not to skip over the stuff it
doesn't use 4 bytes at a time. I don't know what the DPPS chunk is for, just
that that's the one that gave me problems.
