Dr. Halo is a raster image file format associated with the Dr. Halo III paint program for MS-DOS. It uses RLE compression.

A Dr. Halo image is usually composed of two separate files: a ".CUT" file containing the bitmap, and a ".PAL" file containing the color palette.

[TODO: It seems that at least one other Dr. Halo image format exists. It's not clear whether its file extension is .pic, .dhp, or maybe something else.]
