My image utility routines can read "INF" image file format, among others.
This is not a standard, but does provide a means of interpreting raw image
data files.  You create a .inf file with a text editor that explains things
like the pixel stride, offsets for each component, etc.

One of my software releases is bound to contain the IMAGE_xxx utility
programs.  When you find one, look at the IMAGE_TYPES documentation file,
which should refer you to a doc file for the INF format.  One you have a INF
file, it should work with all the IMAGE_xxx programs, like IMAGE_DISP,
IMAGE_COPY, etc.

I'm not sure which software releases contain the image utilities, but
certainly the full development release at
http://www.embedinc.com/pic/dload.htm does.
