Raster Master RAW, or RM RAW, is a simple raster graphics format associated with Raster Master v3.0+.

Raster Master is a sprite/icon editor for DOS (later Windows), designed for use in software development. It was developed by Nick Onoufriou and Blueview Software.

The format is minimalistic. There's no simple way to identify a RAW file as such, just from its contents. However, it is not a raw bitmap format.
