I have a "256 color" driver for Windows 3 that came with my PC/display, but
I can't see any difference when it's loaded.  What is supposed to change?  I
had fantisized that those stupid dithered colors would turn into solids, but
it didn't happen.  Is there something else that needs to be done besides
telling Windows about the new driver?
