This is the Deluxe Paint Page Size.  Try this:
1) Use DPaint II to create a bitmap bigger than 640*400.
2) Save it, leave DPaint, restart DPAin II.
3) Load the picture. Ask how big it is.
4) Leave DPaint, start DPaint *III*.
5) Load the picture. Watch the pyrotechnics.
	       * WARNING -- THIS CRASHES! *
6) Reboot, restart DPaint III, tell it the right
   page size, load the picture, save it.
7) Notice it now has a DPPS chunk, and that it
   will load properly without crashing.

I don't know what the format is, but that's what it
is for. I imagine it's easy enough to figure out.
