At one time or another, I remember seeing a program that would set your screen bit depth depending on what applications you launched. Anyone know the name of this program (app/init/whatever) or know where I can find a copy? Thanks in advance -- Ken -- Ken Hancock | This account needs a new home in MA...

Thanks to everyone who replied to my question. For those who are interested, the answer is HandOff II. Fortunately, one of the folks to reply was a friend who had just purchased a copy at MacWorld. He brought his copy over last night, but much to my chagrin, it was bomb-city on my machine. A couple things I noted: 1) Does not work with _Launch 3.0. I'm interested in HandOff primarily for games since they're the only beings in the Mac world who seem particularly choosy about their environment. Games like Solarian brought up their "Please set your monitor to 256 colors" dialog, and then HandOff II would kick in and set the monitor...not too helpful after the fact. 2) Using the HandOff menu for launching applications dies on my machine in a very evil way. More playing with this tonight. Hopefully, I'll try renaming it tonight to see if changing the load order will get it to work on my system and improve the timing problems. It looks like a wonderful utility, but if it don't work, I'm not going to go out and buy a copy... Ken -- Ken Hancock | This account needs a new home in MA...
