Then why are 3200-color pictures called that? If you can only have an interrupt every other line, say, then the most that can be managed is 1600 colors. Dreamgraphix is doing something besides just displaying the picture, so I can see the problem there, but an ordinary display program should be able to get all 3200 colors. -- \\ I think, therefore I am. |___|___| Disclaimer: Benji Rudiak-Gould // I am, therefore I think. |_|___|_| Take with benji@euler.berkeley.edu \\ Therefore, I think I am. |___|___| a grain /////////////////////////// Therefore I am -- I think... |_|___|_| of :-)
