SO how DO you make a change in graphics ability and NOT have to modify
programs to use it ????  (NOTE that the box >IS< down compatible.)

It is important to note that in most cases no mod >IS< needed in 99% of the
cases . For example, ANY normal IFF show routines will show new BB pictures
WITHOUT ANY MODIFICATION!

Don't know many small companies that can do it a different way .
