BobS; note the plural. Probably two shade bobs, blending together, so I'd need
three subtly changing colours, where the third is a blend between the other two.
Might work, although changing the preset palette is kind of screwy in text mode
for some reason. Plotting the bobs is no problem though; text mode graphics
memory starts at B800:0000, start plottin'! (And yes, I have that kind of stuff
memorised.)
