Uh, well, *I* use color tables interactively in my programs
in 24-bit color, and *my* changes show up immediately--or
at least fast enough so that none of my customers complain. :-)

As a matter of fact, it is easy enough to get programs to
work equally well in 8-bit or 24-bit mode if you know a
couple of things about how colors work and have the right
tools. If you don't believe me, ask anyone in my IDL
programming class this week. *They* know how to do this. :-)

Cheers,

David
