Sigh. So I finally get a moment to begin to play around a bit
with my Mac II's graphics, and I decide it would be neat to
have a 256 color startup screen. So off I go, take a favorite
256 color image, dump it as a res=0 pict file, and name it
startupscreen.... Reboot the mac and the image shows up.
You guessed it - wrong clut. The image came out looking pretty
bad.

Is there something I missed here? Is there a way to get the
mac to use the clut in the pict resource? I know it's in there,
because if I reread the pict file back into the utility I built
it with it colorizes just fine.

Any ideas?
