GEMImageDT is a datatype for GEM image files, as used by GEM Paint and
several other packages. These are also known as IMG files, after the
file-name suffix usually used.

Supported format variations:

  - Two-colour black and white images.
  - 16-colour PC images.

Unsupported format variations:

  - Atari ST colour images.

Note that 16-colour Atari ST images will be interpreted as PC images and
thus be rendered with an incorrect palette.
