Is it possible to have the destop "bitmap" that is
imaged by the display driver output into an offscreen
bitmap? 

Can the system be told, perhaps, that this would 
be a color(12/16/32/??bit) display on a mono station?

Maybe send the result to another system via network to 
some window somewhere (or peecee with a targa).

Color apps on a mono station? hmmm...
