   I have a question about Copybits...  I have heard that copybits
automatically checks and converts colors, when copying between 2 different
windows or G-Worlds.  This is done whenever the CLUT seed values are different
between the 2 windows/G-Worlds.  If Copybits thinks the windows both use THE
SAME EXACT  clut, then it bypasses all the lengthy and time-consuming color
matching and just moves the picture data.  Obviously if I can verify that the
CLUT for both windows is the same (or force it to be so), then copybits will
copy my graphics quite a bit faster.
   My question is this:  How can I find out what CLUT is being used by each
window/G-World, and force them to be the same?
