Well i have never tryed it, as you see i always use the -- -bpp option, so
i disregard what a program wants to give me.

Well i think i will look at this tommorrow, as a matter of fact i have a
lot to do tommorrow, i have promised myself to get my old PLIP cable out
again, have not used it for years, this because things have changed a lot
since i tryed it in 2.0 or was that 1.x o well we will see.
I will post results when i have done what i promise, (if my boss does not
ring and say, "help").
