These are "palette" and "bload" (bitmap) files for a picture,
Lawrence Gozum's VGA manipulation utilities use this syntax ... perhaps
others do as well. The generic ("screen00") names would suggest that
these are the default file names for a screen capture, or an intermediate
file during a conversion process.
