Looking through Inside Mac Volume 5, I can't seem to find instructions
on changing the color depth on a Mac II.  By color depth, I mean 2
color, 4 color, 16 color, or 256 color mode.

I know applications aren't supposed to mess with that setting, but I
want to write a loader that automatically switches into 2 color mode for
those programs that don't work in multi-color modes.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't read this group, so please mail to one of the addresses below.

Thanks again,
-Dave
