Here's the scoop: I'm loading a 256 colour DIB, and I don't get the right
colours displayed in my app (but Paint displays them correctly). Can I create
a logical palette using the bmiColors[] array in the BITMAPINFO structure in
the DIB file?
Any example code would be much appreciated.
When I move to a DIB that has > 256 colours, must I deal with this seperately?
It appears that the bmiColors array is no longer used, and that the RGB values
are in the bitmap array (three bytes per pixel). 

Specs:
486-50
ATI Graphics Ultra
Windows 3.1
BorlandC++ 3.1 with OWL

Thanks in advance,
Ian.
