The CUT format is
exceedingly awkward, and GFX-View makes a few assumptions about how CUT files
will be used in order to make it workable. To begin with, CUT files don't know
how many colors they have in them. They rely on a second file, called a PAL
file, to define their colors.
GFX-View
looks for a PAL file to decide whether a CUT file has two bits or eight bits of
color. If it doesn't find a PAL file with the same name as your CUT file, it
will assume that the CUT file in question only has two bits of color. Otherwise,
it will assume that there are 256 colors in the file.
