Well, a .sys file is usally a executable piece of code.

You might be thinking of the boot image that Win95 uses where they
rename a BMP file to '.sys'.

Anyway, just go for the Targa (TGA) file format. It is very easy to
program (as long as you ignore the tail extensions) and versitile.

Just go to ftp://ftp.truevision.com/pub/TGA.File.Format.Spec/ to find
out the details.
