I have an ATI card that has these modes.  It also has (in addition to waht you
mention above) a 640x200 16 color mode.  I wrote a program which uses this
mode, but it could easily be modified to use the 320x200 mode.  It also has a
number of viewing modes, including a (slow displaying) mode which dithers VGA
GIF's to 16 colors.  It works fine, but I intend to clean it up in the future
(during that elusive "free time" I keep on reserving for such things).  I
tried to e-mail you, but the address bounced.  If anyone else wants a (free)
GIF viewer which uses Plantronics modes, especially the ATI Graphics
Solution/Wonder card, e-mail me.
