A little bit off the track, but what the heck...

I've no doubt that a greater number of colors can be displayed in HIRES
by using the tricks described.  And coming up with some sort of IFF spec
for it is good.  But just where are the images to be displayed coming
from?  :-)  Having a viewer is half the story.  When developing the spec
it might be good to also consider the needs of the programs that will
generate these pics.

Maybe having a "Ted Turner" program would be the solution --- it takes
in a standard HIRES pic and then colorizes it.  :-)
