A shot in the dark.  The RTA is building a Customer Information System
 (information kiosk) touch screen multi-media project for public retrvial
of information about the authority's services. We have a couple of hundred
of full colour(16 million) Targa files, that we need to get into a 256 colours
for MS_windows.

MicroSoft's PalEdit from the MultiMedia Development Kit contains several
predefined colour palette files. Eg.

VGA.PAL      = Standard VGA 16 colour palette
STANDARD.PAL = A 196-color palette that conforms to NTSC color standards.

The problem we are having in using the STANDARD.PAL is that the resulting
images display all the colour biasses we normal see in NTSC colour TV,
particularly in skin tones.

Does anybody have a 196-color palette that conforms to the PAL color standard
(Australian & British ),  or SECAM color standard (French) ?

Thanks Shaun.
