- Well folks, the 'mystery' as to why some people see horribly dithered graphics
- and some people see pretty nice graphics in wing commander has apparently been
- solved. The reason is this: under 2.04, Wing Commander will use a 32 color
- screen. Under 1.x, the 32 color screens are dithered down to 16. This is
- supposedly because of a faster graphics.library under 2.04. Check out the
- review in comp.sys.amiga.reviews for the story.
