	Since shifting to a (yuch) monochrome SPARCstation 1 I've
	ironed out a couple minor bugs in the Img Software Set that
	sabotaged it on monochrome Suns.  I'm now displaying assorted
	1-deep, 8-deep, and 24-deep images in glorious black & white.
	Resolution sucks due to color getting compressed to gray scale,
	then dithered, but so be it.  Having 1 plane is a hardware problem.

	Would there be enough interest in this copy to warrant trying
	to make it available?  We don't have ftp access.
