Ignacio,
I think you are interpreting that paragraph wrong.
<< Only use flic drivers intended for running 8-bit flic files with
8-bit (256 color) flics.>>
Here we say that Autodesk recommends only using the Vibrant selections that are
256 colors for FLIC playback.
<<In some cases, it's possible to configure VIBCFG to run a flic with many
than 256 colors, depending on the display board you are and the driver you
select.>>
This is poor wording. What is being said is that with some video drivers you
can play a Flic file (still only 256 colors) when your Vibrant driver is
configured so that you are using a video _driver_ that supports more than 256
colors.
I can see how you would get confused. However, the intent here is to warn about
selecting a wrong driver, NOT to tell people there are FLIC files with more
than 256 colors. Sorry for the confusion.
