What is the format for the 24-bit map ?
Are you familiar with pbmplus ? It is a PD graphics file format
translator that runs on Unix platforms. One of the utilities is
ppmquant, which can quantize a pixel map into a limited set of
colors. Not perfect but them changing 24-bit map into 256 colors
is not likely to be perfect.
Pbmplus supports many input & output formats.
Check the alt.graphics.pixutils to find out where the latest version is.
pbmplus is in a Beta test cycle right now for the latest release
