We know that our application will never use more than 16 colors,
and we don't want to use the amount of memory required when 256
colors is the default.  So, how can an application program
override the 256 color default to reduce memory requirements?
We assume that there is some way of overriding the 256 color
default before a grafport is opened, and we hope that doesn't
require changing low memory globals.

This is probably of interest to others on the net, but you can
also reply directly to me at "loganj@byuvax.bitnet" or by the
internet to "loganj@yvax.byu.edu".

Thanks
