As far as the composer goes, I found that it WILL NOT run BELOW,
I think, 64K colors.   And if you do try to run it, it tends to paint
the pictures in scattered peices all over the screen.  This is using an
S3 - video card, in either 800x600 or 1024x768 modes.
 I thought it might be the card itself, but didn't get any problems with
any other software...  Seems like the software's not quite ready for prime time!
