I couldn't find any reference to this in any of the info on the 32-bit
Color QuickDraw discs or on the CD-ROM, but it is mentioned in the
"All about the palette manager" article in Develop #1.  As the summary says:

	CTabHandle myCT;
	...
	(*myCT)->ctFlags |= 0x4000;

Now if only 32-bit QuickDraw weren't so slooooow. 8-(
