I see a small improvement in my Mac OS PPC build - two less warnings
about bad values  in grid settings. But colours and general reliability
are not improved - it's still a very unhapppy program on a Big-endian
Mac.

There must be deeper assumptions about byte order in the program,
possibly inside Cdraw.
