In response to the post by schwalbe@pinocchio.Encore.COM (Jim Schwalbe): I have installed the 256 color drivers for the ATI VGA wonder, and the difference is phenomenal. All the dithered colors remain the same, but the support for the extended colors is there. I recently converted a 256 color .GIF file, and use it as the background bitmap. The colors are AMAZING. There is also a difference in the clarity of the dithered colors, and how pure they appear to be. I like it a LOT better. It slows the system down a little, but it's worth it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ storm@cs.mcgill.ca Marc Wandschneider
