I just dealt with the same problem...  I'm using Photoshop 4 and 768
byte palette files. I figured out that photoshop uses 8 bit values for
it's colors and the vga uses 5 bit values.  Just load the bytes,
multiply them by 8 (or shift them by 3 bits... byte<<3) and then write
them out with a photoshop palette extension.

Later,
