try a search for Colin Taylor or Palette

Palette Management Utilities  Colin Taylor    1/24/99
(pal_util.e)   

His code will show you how to get around the 
palette problem....sortof

I personaly use this prefered way.

Irv mentioned useing the same palette for multiple
images... Jasc PaintShop Pro is probably the best
Ive seen to handle images. 

I first create the main image or convert an existing image to 16million
colors then, convert the same image useing JASC back to 256 colors then I use:

   Optimized Median Cut
   Error Diffusion
   and Reduce Color Bleeding

I then save that palette to a file from the initial image and apply this saved
palette to any image I create after this for the same project.
