And this is a shame, although I would agree the image on screen may not
benefit a great deal from the increased colours it would be nice to be
able to print out to a printer that can use 24 bit colour and I'm not
sure we can do this if we can't display them ( I'm not sure we can do
this even
I disagree that 24bit colour precision is not necessary. Many file formats
support that and it would be best if we could be compatible. Not to
mention ported applications ;-)
There has been extensive reseach about the number of colours man can see. If
I remeber correctly, 16 bits was enough

Yes, I think so.
Additionally do COLOUR_PAL in its default setting display the same colours

Beware of the various screen size (Q40 can be 512x256 or 1024x512,
QPC has a lot of standard variants)
With QPC you have to expect everything from 512x256 to (IIRC)
4096x4096, the only limitation being that the x-resolution is
guaranteed to be dividable by 32.

Phoebus - I've just had a quick look at the notes I have for my

partly due to lack of time at the time and partly because of hearing
about the Jim Hunkins QDT Desktop system (anyone heard any more about
that?)
