Ok, here is my dilemma: I've been working on a GIF->Metafile .DLL filter for some time now, and I'm getting good results so far, but only for a 16-color GIF... for some reason, I cannot seem to get a 256color GIF to display properly... Now, I'm creating a Device-Independent Bitmap, so I've also created the color table and every- thing... I'm wondering if there's a procedure that I've skipped where I'd have to set the color table to become the new logical palette??? I don't have problems when displaying a 16-color GIF or any GIF created by Paintbrush (since Paintbrush uses the system palette, this is why I think my results come out as they do)... also, what would be the side effects if I tried to set a new palette, and run the program twice, with different GIF's (like a 256 color grey-scale GIF and a 256 color color gif) I would think there would be a conflict, since the video card cannot physically go beyond 256 colors, right???
