Netscape, WordPerfect, and now Marlstrom...   just curious, why don't these 
apps support 24bpp color?  Is it such a non-standard format that it's not 
worth the time?  My understanding was that 24bpp color was more prevelant 
than 32bpp color - but most of these appps (don't know about Marlstrom) seem 
to support 32bpp color just fine.  

What gives?
