The problem is that images must be less than 64K in size. Plucker guys told me
that it would take extensive changes in the parser and the viewer to support
images greater than 64k. I don't know if/when they're gonna do it. I'd like
them to do it, since at 2bpp a 600x400 image is greater than 64k (that's why I
have put 570 as max size :), and it makes larger images in 4 and 8bpp
impossible. And what's the use of a 100x100 256-color comic strip? :-)

Those parts of the system that you can hit with a hammer (not advised)
are called hardware; those program instructions that you can only curse
at are called software.
