Here's an updated version of my screen(1) program for Suns which does all
this and so much more (I took some ideas from the emulation(1) program
posted to sun-spots some time ago).  The names for the various color
displays are somewhat confusing: a CG3 is not the same as a cgthree (the
latter on 386i's).  I have used the names from the October Sun STB article
on color boards.

 sun% screen -v

 sun% screen type
 is a 1152 x 900 x 1 Monochrome 2 (BW2) display
 emulated by a 1152 x 900 x 10 (256 color) Color Graphics 4 (CG4) display
