It also works on my Palm Vx, and my friend's Palm V.  By which I mean
that the application my company is building has BitmapFamilies which
only include the 8-bit colour versions of the bitmaps, but when my
Vx is set to 4-bit greyscale and I display the image, it gets
automatically converted to 4-bit greyscale, and when my friend's V
is set to 2-bit greyscale and he displays the image, it gets converted
to 2-bit greyscale.

I think that the automatic conversion is an "OS >= 3.5" thing, as both
my Palm Vx and my friend's Palm V are running 3.5.3.

Later,
Blake.
