- Well my eperience with this is that on a GVP SPectrum running Cybergfx 2.1
- is that the prefs proram certainly does not open on a 256 colour screen,
- but if I knock the WB down to 128 colours or less then I can see it. The
- program is running but not showing it's interface (I check with executie
- and "kill" it off).
-
- Seems it may not be able to correctly identify the sceenmode number (the
- HEX number) and thus does not show it's "face" to you.

- M 0.02 worth on this one.
