When I saw the junk in the DTL images I automatically assumed it was some kind of RLE compressed alpha data ... I spent a while wondering how the hell it was encoded before finally noticing the pixel data is 32-bit ... :)

// This tool extracts and decompresses data from IPF2 (*.SKA) archives.

// dtl2bmp.cpp, v1.0 2006/11/11
// This tool converts DTL images to bitmaps.  The format is simple except for
// some strange junk that sometimes precedes the pixel data.  I have no idea
// what that data is, so this tool discards it ...
