Actually , I have found that the HAMGIF I use is actually pretty braindead
about the pallett it uses. i have several VERY GOOD VGA pictures, and the
HAMGIF program manages to munge them so they look like 16 colors (all
fleshtone the same ect) -- if someone could email me that latest version it
will save me the trouble of writing one.

Also , can any >SHAM do 320x400???
