There are several PD utilities that do this, none of which seem very robust
(ie they make everything crash!).  One commercial product that I know of, 
Omnires (sold through E. A. Brown Co. for about $35) also does it, and it
seems to be more forgiving.  It also give the ability to emulate a color on
a mono (with grey scales, of course).  Several different methods for both
types of emulations are included, you are instructed to pick the one you 
like the best (dithering, etc).  I would recommend that you get a real mono,
as they are cheap (hell, you might be able to get a used one for $60) and 
they look sooo good (70Hz is hard to beat, best monochrome screen I have seen).
