Is Setpallete the standard spelling for the sepalette routine?  Sozobon C
drove me up the wall because it took me some time to find out the function
call was mispelled (they spelled it "Setpallete" instead of "Setpalette"
which I think be correct).  Anyway, I just found that GCC1.39 spells it
"Setpallete" as well.  What's the deal?  My books refer to the call as
"Setpalette," and palette is spelled palette.  I haven't a clue as to what a
pallete is.  I went into my osbind.h files and fixed the entries, though
maybe I should change it back if others' programs are going to puke on my
computer.

What's up?
