I have been toying with this idea for some time.  I wrote a little
program on the atari 800 to screen-flip different intensities to the
screen and so create images with 4 grey levels, with 320 * 192
resolution.  Worked okay, but definate flicker.

Is this what Mark is going to to??  I need (as usual, more than I have)
256 grey levels in a low rez screen for some work I want to do.  I
was planning on writing something to do this by comibing 2 16-level
pictures.  But if this has already been done, I am interested.  If
I can help, I would be happy to donate some time to getting this
thing up and running.
