- Can anyone say how quickly or terribly things might
- go awry if I try to keep some extra info in the top 8 bits
- of the pixel data of a 24-bit offscreen gworld?
-
- That byte is awfully tempting as a place for alpha stuff.
- And for the moment I'm not too concerned with how the code
- will react under system 12; I just don't want sneaking
- randomness to show up next week.
- Have I missed something in IM6 that unequivocally rules
- this out, or permits it? Has anyone else been similiarly tempted?
