- Best bet: register CyberShow (its pretty cheap; you can get a
- grescale-only demo from Aminet). It will both show pictures on 16 bit

- also show them many times faster, and let you pan and zoom.

- The current set of datatypes are almost useless due to their low display
- quality, slow speed, and inability to use 16 and 24 bit screen depths.
