There are not too many, I have to agree!

What I should have mentioned in my first post was that I eventually want to take the color map from one image and use it on another image (which is almost identical).  Patch level #2 of the urt package does support a '-m' option, but I don't want to use that (ie., I have a few more files than I want to run through rlequant).  What I'd like to do is get a map for 1 or serveral 24-bit images to turn them into 8 and then apply that same map to someother 24bit images to turn them into 8 bits too.

Thanks,
