Does anyone out there (especially if you work for Sun Microsystems) know
if there is any way of displaying more than 256 colors on the screen at
a given time? I have graphics software which was running on a VAX hooked
to a Raster Technologies framebuffer and rasterscan screen. I no longer
have sufficient access to the aforementioned equipment but can readily
access the Sun (600?). I was reading the graphics manual and sadly
discovered that you can only define a color map with 8-bits/pixel; so
if there is any hope, PLEASE, PLEASE let me know!!
