You could have just used "ILBMInfo f$ : picmode = ILBMViewMode" ;)
But that would probably give the same results as you are getting. I don't
think it is the full screenmode of the picture (after all, people with
P96 and CGFX won't have the same mode ID's for the same screenmodes) and
those screenmodes would not have been thought of when ILBM was created. I
think the only info it stores is hires, ham, laced and halfbright and
things like that.
