- But the DIPF_IS_FOREIGN bit isn't used as one would expect. CGFX doesn't
- use it at all (due to the ScreenMode preferences program), and the
- PicassoII uses it for modes the graphics.library emulation can't handle..
-
- Currently, checking for DIPF_IS_ECS seems to be a better "native mode"
- indicator.
