RE:1 Experimental0 externsions to color -- bitmap bug in Genera 7.

    There appears to be an slight inconsistancy between bitmaps and color
    windows with regard to the :BIT-ARRAY message.   The color windows
    return an array.  Bitmaps return nil.

If you give make-instance of a bitmap the keyword argument :save-bits t,
you should be able to get the bit-array as with a window.  Yes, there is
an inconsistency - color windows have bit arrays if you don't specify
:save-bits t, bitmaps don't.  I can't comment on the reasons for this
difference, but I would reserve judgement about whether it's a bug until
the bitmap software is fully documented and released.
