Yes maybe the people running a Handspring 3.5 can not see a color
reduced 16 bpp.

Well, the problem was that the 16 Bpp Images crash on some OS3.5 and
work fine on other OS 3.5 (Handspring mod.). So IIRC the solution was
to _not_ display 16bpp on OS3.5.

IMHO the rule are simple.
< OS3.5: If (images bpp) > (OS Supported bpp) then
do _not_ display the images, write the "[img Nbpp]" String.
= OS3.5.x: Allways show Images with bpp 1,2,4 and 8, never show images
with bpp 16 or more.
> OS3.5.x: Allways show Images with bpp 1,2,4,8 and 16.
