Or another place to look is at the Doctor Dobbs Journal site (forget the URL)...
Another place is Faqsys (Forget that URL as well)... Both should be easy to
search for ;) If you can't find them, e-mail me privately and I'll send you some
source ;)

BTW, has anyone seen any work done on tile quantization... What I basically mean
is that I'm doing work for a system that has a 160x144 screen divided into 8x8
tiles. Each tilee has a set 4 shades of gray, but only 256 tiles can be
displayed at once... I'm looking for algorithms that quantize tiles rather than
the colours in them ('cause a simple graylevel floyd-steinberg algorithm does
that work)...

Another sub-system I'm working for has the same 160x144 screen divided into 8x8
tiles. But in this instance, 512 tiles are allowed (which is more than the
20x18=360 needed)... The only problem here is that each tile can have one of 8
palettes of 4 colours each. The problem is in quantisizing the truecolor image
down into 8 seperate palette... Does anyone know of any algorithms for this (or
have any idea how to solve it)?

Any help would be appreciated,
Michael
