Re: Convert 3200

[Daniel Webster <dwebster@monmouth.com>]

My prinipal use for Convert 3200, at this point, is not so much to
produce 3200 colors pictures, but to produce 256 colors pictures for a
game port.  So my comments are primarily for the 256 colors mode rather
than the 3200 mode.  I would be very happy to send you the pictues that
I am converting.  The originals are 256 colors, not millions of colors.
