----------------------------------------------------------------------
FastMC (tm) is the fastest truecolor-emulation for 8-bit displays.
The idea came from Stefan Kost's slow "Multicolor"-system.
Because applications using this algorithm are the slowest we know
we decided to write a faster one.

Advantages:
 -pixel-aspect and image-size are not changed
 -very high speed
 -more visible colors:
   -every color-channel (RGB) has a diffent number of shades ("eye-sensitive")
   -all 256 color-registers are used
 -rgb-values are in the usual range 0..255 (not 0.0..1.0)

Examples:
 -jpeg-viewer
 -ppm-viewer
 -plasma-generator
