    So in V2.0 how does one go from .GRA to something that Bookreader can
    use?

The error message would seem to indicate that your are using a 24 plane system
(or at least greater than 8 planes), perhaps a Firefox?.  Here are your
options:

	1) Use the ".gra" file directly in the bookbuild
		(easiest thing to do).

or
		(This really isn't as involved as it may at first
		 seem.)


	2) Repoint "decw$display" temporarily to a monochrome system
	   while generating the Bookreader file.  One way to do this is:
    
		a) First note its current setting, "sho log decw$display"
		   (so you can reset it when you are finished)
		b) Locate a monochrome system anywhere on
		   the net, say it's called FOOSYS.

			(Note: the owner of this system will have to give
			       you permission to access its display)

		c) Now just before your invoke /RENDER enter the command
			"define decw$display FOOSYS::0"
		d) Execute /RENDER
		e) Reset decw$display to value noted in step "a" (should you
		   have forgotten to do that, reset it with
			"define decw$display YOUR-NODE-NAME::0")
