Files are exactly 113600 bytes long.
From the AtariForumWiki page:
DUO *.DU1 *.DUO (low resolution)
*.DU2 (medium resolution)
Created by Anders Eriksson: http://ae.dhs.nu/
These are essentially 2 screens with over-scan interlaced together.
Low resolution files are 416x273 pixels:
16 words palette
56784 bytes screen 1
56784 bytes screen 2
-----------
113600 bytes total
Medium resolution files are 832x273 pixels:
4 words palette
56784 bytes screen 1
56784 bytes screen 2
24 bytes padding if present, otherwise total size is 113576 bytes

113600 bytes total
Both screens use the same palette, but when viewed the human eye merges the two
alternating images into one.
