First things first:  the latest version of uupc is on SIMTEL20.  I should
have guessed that.  Oh well.

Now, I just recently got a VGA card and color monitor.  I would like to
be able to display a full 256 colors in graphics programs that I have
written in Microsoft C 5.1.  However, I cannot seem to figure out how
to access the full range of colors beyond 16.  Is there some way to do
this using _remapallpalette or _remappalette?  I'm assuming I should be
in _MRES256COLOR mode in order to be able to do this.  Or, am I totally
off in left field?

If anyone knows how to do this, I would appreciate some info.
