Heh - go ahead: all email to this account is automatically bounced to
president@whitehouse.gov - clearly we need a national color model
infrastructure... ;)

(Slightly more seriously: the OP was referring to things to teach to
people he has sitting in front of him, not random people who send him
emails because they can't get some program to work that was written in
the early neolithic.)

ObIDL: maybe I understand device,decomposed=0 wrong, but it is really
only useful if you have a true-color display (like every cheap PC
these days!) and you're trying to use something that was written in
the bad old days of 8-bit indexed color, right? (Wrong?)

I've come across these situations a few times; and so far the best
choice was every time to go into the code and rewite it to expect a
true-color display. I cannot imagine what economic upheavals would
have to happen to make people go back to 8-bit pseudo color...
