Description:

PalMaker allows you to set the 256 colour palette for either the
Computer Concepts' ColourCard or State Machine's G8 range cards.

PalMaker co-operates with a draw program like Draw or ArtWorks to
redraw a document three times, once each for red, green and blue.
After the three redraws, PalMaker has access to a 24-bit image of an
area of the redrawn document.  PalMaker uses then a 'color quantization'
technique to get the best 256 colours, and sets the palette according
to those values.
