ZX DataType is a picture datatype for displaying Sinclair ZX Spectrum
pictures under Amiga OS release 3 or higher.

Why would someone need a picture datatype for Spectrum screens? I don't
know... I just created it for fun. I liked the idea of being able to view
Spectrum pictures with MultiView, or having them inlined in a WWW page.
Kinda neat, don't you think? :-)

ZX DataType recognises several different file formats.

 - Raw SCREEN$ image. Length is 6912 bytes.

 - SCREEN$ file saved with the ZX Interface 1. Length is 6921 bytes.

 - SCREEN$ file in the ZX82 (Amiga Speculator) format. Both compressed and
   uncompressed (length is 6924 bytes) are supported.

 - SCREEN$ file saved on the +D and ported to the Amiga using ReadPlusD.
   Length is 7396 bytes.
