- To be "safe", only use the 216 available colors from a standard windows
- colormap, i.e. colors #ffcc99 #663300 and various combinations of these.
- Netscape 2+ now displays true colors for gifs if you have 24-bits, but if you
- use java, gifs are dithered to the standard colormap no matter what the input
- is, and no matter what the display of the viewer is.
