24 and even 32 bit color are standard to unixes and windows desktops as well
as macs, however most applications use only 8 bits to draw menus, text and
the like. One of my pet peeves is seeing a jpg screenshot that obviously
had no more than 256 colors (the maximum for a gif) and thus had smeary text
and edges. My suggestion to use gif was simply a reaction to that coupled
with what seems to be the predominance of limited color palatte in all
sonograms I have ever seen. Since I never use sonograms in my line of I
will defer to your experience here Walt.
