Sorry Bill but the 32-bit CQD INIT will not do anything for you as far
as generating more colors is concerned.  The maximum number of colors
you can generate is dependent on your display card.  If you have a
8-bit display card then you can only disply 2^8 colors. (i.e. 256
colors ).  The only way you are going to get more colors is to get a
card that is capable of displaying more colors.
