- The best package for this type of image is "Deluxe Paint II (enhanced)" by
- ELECTRONIC ARTS. It creates true 256colour pcx files (8bit) which can then
- be converted to bitmap(BMP) images in paintbrush for windows.
- One problem you might get: If you don't have enough Graphics memory or
- you run windows in standard mode paintbrush will still dither the image
- when you import it. I wouldn't save the image if that happens.
- E-mail me if you need more help.[I'm a graphic designer not a programmer].
