- This tells the reader how to construct a mask for drawing the picture into a
- bigger image. If this byte is set to the correct value (I think it's 1), it
- means that there is an extra plane of masking data after each line, which
- must be skipped if you can't use it. I don't have my manuals with me so I
- can't tell you the exact numbers.

- Instead of
-
- line 0: plane 1 ... plane n
- line 1: plane 1 ... plane n
- ...
-
- you have
-
- line 0: plane 1 ... plane n mask
- line 1: plane 1 ... plane n mask
- ...
