I am working on this distributed ray tracer.  It works fine.  But
I have a little problem: Displaying the results.  The output is
rgb values 0-255 (thought of a % of 255).  I have a VGA that
can display 256 or 16 simultaneous colors.  I am sure this has been
discussed numerous times but what is the most straightforward way of
mapping %'s to colortable to pallete?
