The person that donated the 16 bit depth code hardcoded in shifts and masks, rather than querying the display like the 24 bit depth code does. I tried making appropriate changes, but there's something really funky about computing the depths and the way that Mosaic handles its bitmaps, or I'm just plum crazy!

I'll see if I can get some time in on it this weekend and hopefully produce some 16 bit depth code that works. -matt -- Matthew C.
