In Win95 I have only been able to use 226 colors with my system. I have to
switch between 24-bit true color back to 256 color mode in Win95. It also
changes the color of any other programs running, or sometimes IDL takes over
all other resorces and it becomes a hassle to run anything but IDL! I hope
in version 5 it doesn't have these problems in a Win95 system.
