actually, replying to my articles is not usually my style ...

okay, the color decoding is right now. it's very simple. the colors
are in 12 bits RGB, and all i had to do was doubling each of the 4
bits for R, G and B.

a color code of f339 (fully opaque, somewhat blue) results in
33 33 99 and i do not care about the alpha channel yet. i don't know
how to code that channel into ppm pictures.

marcus: i hope you understand that the tetris icon in the
virtuamunstaz
demo is there due to our ignorance. take it as homage :-)

leo.
