I want to ask a question about color postscript and bitmap images
is it possible to create bitmap images using 8 bits images instead
of 24-bits. So far I only know hows to do 24-bits (16.7 million colors)
and I want to reduce it to 8-bits (256 colors) but not in 256 shades of
gray. If anybody has a an answer to this send me e-mail. Also code that
translate color GIF pictures into color postscript would do fine.

    Thanx for any responce,
