RLE

[Dar Scott]

The impression I get from several comments on this list is that I can  
drop "RLE" data into an image (and it work).

Is this a homemade RLE format that Scott made?  Or is this a standard  
Like the Utah RLE?  If a standard, are only certain options allowed?

What are the details on this format?  Can I make one and set the text  
of an image to it?  Can this be exported?

I found Utah RLE here:

Long, long ago I knew a kid who ran into the house the night after  
getting his glasses and called out "Mommy, mommy!  There really are  
stars!"

I'm having trouble believing that this legendary RLE exists.
