Simple problem really:

How do I transform a Windows 3 BMP file to a GIF file preserving all the
colors?

I tried to go through PaintBrush and first getting BMP->PCX, but the picture
loses the color info in process, translating 256 colors to good 16. 
(I only have a vanilla VGA).

I would like to have some display independent way to do this 
(BMP2GIF to supplement the GIF2BMP).
