Paintbrush will use the  256 color modes when they are available. I
have loaded 256 color pictures into it. The pictures are a little off,
since Windows reserves some of the colors for itself, so the application
doesn't have all the colors available. I called ZSoft to find out if they
had a 3.0 version of Paintbrush + available. They said it is under
development, but they don't have a ship date yet. I want a more powerful
version with things like the eyedropper tool and gradient fills and stuff
like that.
