- Microsoft Isaac Asimov's The Ultimate Robot for the Macintosh, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS
========

If you run Asimov in 16-color mode, the bullet back button [*<] may not
display its active mode correctly. This button should turn green to indicate
when it is active; however, if your monitor is set to 16 colors, the button may
not change color.

Asimov does not provide full support for 16-color (4-bit) displays.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Asimov's Ultimate Robot version
1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
