That demo I sent out which displayed 15 gray levels on an ST was
intended for COLOR systems.  Though there are 16 color registers
on a color system there are only three bits per color meaning you
can only get eight shades of gray (except, of course STe's.)

I've received a number of complaints that it fails to work, but
only one person who has complained has mentioned whether he was
using a mono or color system.

The reason I didn't post the code was that the data portion,
which is RLE encoded, is huge in its ASCII hex representation,
well over 150k.

The only other potential problem I am aware of is how I allocate
memory for the second virtual screen.  I don't.  I just assume
I own 32k of memory after the end of the program.
