[Oberon] paint.mod attached

[Tomas Kral]

Dear Joerg,

I am working on Bitmpas now, these seem an underlying abstraction for
Paint.Mod.
Looking at Ceres-2 Display.Def, to support colours, if my understanding
is right, I may need to set up a "colour map", and array assigning RGB
triplets to col: INTEGER values.

PROCEDURE SetColor*(col, red, green, blue: INTEGER);
PROCEDURE GetColor*(col: INTEGER; VAR red, green, blue: INTEGER);

What I cannot figure out so far, what modifications are need for VID.v,
also where do I specify memory ranges, as with more colours, a longer
memory display buffer is need, as you explained already.

Many thanks.
