Good to know, but could explain it in a non-technical way?
It's always been a mystery to me why the "8-bit" ramp happens on Windows, yet lut loaders somehow are able to bypass this and load a 16-bit CLUT.

Why was --reset originally doing output = input << 8?
16-bit input=output CLUT loaded, but Windows (?) shifts it to 8-bit?

Why was --load doing output = (input << 8) + input
16-bit input=output CLUT loaded, Windows (?) shifts it to 8-bit, then a 16-bit input!=output linear ramp is loaded yet it sticks? I don't understand the + input part.
