I haven't heard much on the net about Apple's 32-bit Quickdraw init, I just
recently dropped it in my system folder and was surprised not only at
the ability for my paltry 256-color video board to display a 32-bit image
dithered but the wonderful full color icon for the init!  This is without
that patch called, I believe Color Finder.  Apparently the 32-Bit QuickDraw
init allows the finder to directly display cicn's...pretty nice. Too bad it
decreases available RAM by 120k, I'm already up to nearly a megabyte just
for the system alone. ;-)

	Anyone else notice this?  Is this still just beta-ware? Anyone
know if there are any other advantages to this init?
