Run, do not walk, to Hobbes and get my SCALE.ZIP (which is probably
still in the pub/uploads directory). This is a short program that
draws a grayscale (or redscale, or bluescale, or ...). Full source
code is included. Be sure to run the FOO.CMD file and tell me what you
think! If you have any questions or comments, you can e-mail me at
the address below.

PS: You may also want to check out my PHYSCOLO, which can be found in
the pub/os2/2.0/programming directory. Note: Both SCALE and PHYSCOLO
require Palette Manager, so you should be using CSD 6055 and a
256-color driver for best results.
