the palette manager docs say that the first two colors in a palette
should always be black & white, is this only for compatibility with
1 bit per pixel video cards or is there some other reason ? i'm writing
some code that will never run on a system with less than 8 bits per
pixel and i'd rather not be constrained to using black and white
in the first two slots of my palette.

e-mail preferred, posted replies appreciated as well
