Following the suggestion of Jeroen C. van Gelderen this is now

    Bytes 1 thru 8	Literal "SCRSHOT_"
    Byte 9		Version number
    Byte 10		Remaining number of bytes in the header
    Byte 11		Width of the display
    Byte 12		Depth of the display

So a dump of an 80x25 screen would start (in hex)

    53 43 52 53 48 4f 54 5f 01 02 50 19=20
