From Just Solve the File Format Problem
Dali is a graphics program for the Atari ST.
SD0 files are 320x200 with 16 colors
SD1 files are 640x200 with 4 colors
SD2 files are 640x400 in mono

Format details
Dali file format
Copied from AtariForumWiki.[1]
Dali *.SD0 (ST low resolution)
*.SD1 (ST medium resolution)
*.SD2 (ST high resolution)
Files do not seem to have any resolution or bit plane info stored in them. The file
extension seems to be the only way to determine the contents.
1 long file id? [always 0]
16 words palette
92 bytes reserved? [usually 0]
32000 bytes raw image data
-----------
32128 bytes total for file
Dali Compressed file format
Copied from AtariForumWiki.[2]
Dali compressed *.LPK (ST low resolution)
*.MPK (ST medium resolution)
*.HPK (ST high resolution)
Files do not seem to have any resolution or bit plane info stored in them. The file
extension seems to be the only way to determine the contents.

Identification
.sc* files are exactly 32128 bytes long.
*.pk files are compressed.
