	I did see some application where the about box gave Think C
some credit (it was before 3.0 came out...).  It does the stars effect
correctly with multiple-bit bitmaps turned on.  It might have been
Vision Lab, or Giffer.  These programs deal with multiple-bit screens
for everything.  Anyway, though it is a small point, it can be done.
