Peter,

Dohh!, You're right.  I meant 32 bits.  8 bit gworlds use a color lookup
table or CLUT and allow you to have 256 preselected colors to choose
from (black, white and 254 others).  I have a project that uses a custom
CLUT and I guess I had 8 bits on the brain.

The only reason I'd said anything about the bit depth was because I'd
removed the alternate REMmed out line concerning 16 bit worlds in the
original example code.
