First the problem:  I have a line equation in slope, y-intercept format,
and need to incriment or decriment all of the colors on one side of that
line.

First try solution:  When a pixel needs modifying, I read it's color, do
a SetAPen(r,color + 1L) and then write the pixel back out.  I also check to
make sure that 0 doesn't decriment and 31 doesn't incriment.

There's gotta be a better way.  Any suggestions?  I can't see that I'd get a
benefit from reading bitmaps and doing it a word at a time since that word
may contain 16 different colors that require incrimenting.
