No the palette is set in the graphics driver
so if you change it the whole display changes
but you seem to be indicating that the rest of the
screen at this point is unused except for the textout-?

I think you can use the grabber utility to get the
pallete from your flic and package both the flic and
pallete in a data file and load both at runtime
