High Color in Windows for Workgroups 3.11--How?

Hi.

Just recently discovered Windows for Workgroups 3.11 works fine under DOSBox 0.65. Though not everything seems to run (Winword 6, Win32, etc.--"big" applications?), it all looks pretty, installation is done within minutes. Fine. Just one flaw: background pictures and stuff look awful in 256-color mode.

So: How do I get High Color video modes working? Is there a generic driver anywhere that works with DOSBox?

Any help appreciated.

You'd think that, but 16 colors really screws up an image, where 256 is at least passable. And since Windows 3.1 loads up with 16 colors as default, I just wanted to make sure that wasn't this person's problem.
