This info doesn't have to be anything much - I did this in FPD2.6 for a specialistic clinic, and it initially contained only color sets (ever tried a character - based app on a system with ten different combinations of mono-VGA cards + monitors?). Some days ago there was talk here of storing the info on "print preview toolbar without the damn print button" into such an initial resource.
