Exactly. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like we're going to be able to fix
this this time around, because of the existing architecture of PalmRez and
Constructor. The color table isn't being transported and used correctly.
All will work just fine except that moving resources between platforms and
compiling it in the other place from where it was built will not
necessarily give you the right colors. You'll be able to open it up with
Constructor on the new platform and fix the colors, but complete
cross-platform data compatibility doesn't seem in the cards for this very
specific colortable case. We'll fix that in the next major revision of the
tools, but fixing it now would take forever.
