Hi Evry1,

The subject says it all ...
How can I, using Allegro, read in a .map-file (used in fractint) or
pal-file (used in Paint Shop Pro) into a PALETTE structure ?

Or how can I display a picture using a palette from a .map-file ?

The problem is that .map-files and .pal-files are textfiles with 256
(r,g,b) triplets, e.g.

0         0     0
128 255 128
64     64   64
... (and so on)

with each r,g,b value ranging from 0 to 255, while in a PALETTE
structure each r,g,b value ranges from 0 to 63 (as you might know:-))

Thanks for all help,
