Tiny Stuff

Tiny Stuff format (or Tiny format) is an RLE-compressed image format used on Atari ST computers. It is associated with a conversion utility (Tiny Stuff) and viewer (Tiny View) by David Mumper.

Format
The first byte of the file is a code indicating the image type. Palette color animation is optionally supported.

Files consist of a 37-byte (if not animated) or 41-byte (if animated) header, followed by a "control" segment and a "data" segment which together form the compressed image data.
