 CT> And unnecessary. You just change the palette to do blinking,

   That would only work with 256 color drivers.  If the user had a 16 color
driver, changing the palette could cause other parts of the screen to
blink. 16 bit and 24 bit modes do not have changable palettes, and thus
would simply not blink.
