Thanks, Derek.  I was surprised by how they turned out.  They aren't as 
good as Sockmaster's high-color displays, but they have no flicker at 
all, use an ordinary built-in video mode, and look a lot more 
photographic than an ordinary 16-color image.  I'm really looking 
forward to some games that use this method.

They are just 640x200x4-color .VEF files, so they should work with any CoCo 3 .VEF viewer (though vefshow didn't seem to work -- I wonder if it only works with 16-color 320x200 pics...)  They should work fine in Roger Taylor's "The Projector" and "Projector 3".
