Description	EggPaint is a simple uncompressed raster image format with 16 bits/pixel (RGB 5-6-5 format) and an 8-byte header, used on Atari Falcon computers. The Atari Falcon030 (usually shortened to Atari Falcon), released in 1992, was the final personal computer product from Atari Corporation. A high-end model of the Atari ST line, the machine is based on a Motorola 68030 CPU and a Motorola 56000 digital signal processor, a feature which distinguishes it from most other microcomputers of the era. It included a VIDEL programmable graphics system which greatly improved graphics capabilities.
