I've used the new 256 color driver (800x600) for about a week now.  I 
use 2 batch files that swap in the appropriate system.ini file prior to
a win/3 call.  My question is: other than an ability to display neato
BMP/GIF/PCX pictures and run a couple of Screen Peace extensions that 
recognize the 256 color palette, what have I gained by going to the 256
color driver?  What other Windows software is 'enhanced' by a 256 color 
driver?
Thanks in advance.
