I was recently given some image files that have a filename ending in ``.rle''.
They appear to be encoded in some dense way.

What is the format of this encoding?  I assume it is some sort of
run-length-encoding, about which I would like to learn more, so some
pointers to references on RLE would also be appreciated.
