I just installed a Mac IIci with 5 meg of RAM and an Apple 12" color
monitor running off the built-in video.  Running through quick tests
of my most-used software, I was pleased to find no compatibility
problems.  That is until I tried my favorite FKEY: Bill Steinberg's
Switch-A-Roo.

On our Mac II, I have Switch-A-Roo configured to switch between 2-bit
B&W and 8-bit color, but when I invoke it on the IIci, it goes into
8-bit grey and stays there.  If I call up the configuration dialog
(with control-command-shift-N) to edit and save the settings, I find
that the settings are lost when I call up the dialog again.  Both of
the toggle states are set to grays with no selected bit-depths.  Bummer.

I am using version 1.3.  Does anyone know if there is a version of
Switch-A-Roo that works on the IIci's built-in video?  I was really
addicted to this little jewel.

By the way, there is a hidden credits display in the configuration
dialog: to see it, click on the version number in the lower right
corner.
