I'm using POV 3.5 for Windows, and I'm having a bit of trouble finding
a combination of switches and options that will render a scene as an
8-bit grayscale, in Windows bitmap format.

I can get a Windows bitmap that is rendered in only shades of gray,
but when I check this in an image editor, I find it was actually
stored in a 24-bit RGB format.

How do I get a single channel, 8-bit, grayscale, windows bitmap?

thanks,
McLilith
