If you are running LW in modes higher than 256 colors on the PC, your
surface samples will be in the chosen res. This means you can have true
color samples if you wish. I find that 16bit samples look great.
You will have the capability of sample spheres in the Amiga version, but
you won't have the ability to use different colors for items as the Amiga
version of LW is written for up to 8 colors only (for compatability on
pre 4000 amigas).
