The RAW format that was supported from POV-Ray 1.0 to 3.0 and dropped in 
3.1. was just a regular 3 byte per pixel, 24 color data, and NOT a double 
precision format. It was dropped because it was considered useless.

From the old raw.c code in POV-Ray 2.0:
*  (header:)
*    wwww hhhh       - Width, Height (16 bits, LSB first)
*  (each scanline:)
*    llll            - Line number (16 bits, LSB first)
*    rr rr rr ...    - Red data for line (8 bits per pixel,
*                       left to right, 0-255 (255=bright, 0=dark))
*    gg gg gg ...    - Green data for line (8 bits per pixel,
*                       left to right, 0-255 (255=bright, 0=dark))
*    bb bb bb ...    - Blue data for line (8 bits per pixel,
*                       left to right, 0-255 (255=bright, 0=dark))
