And dump MS Paint, I think you can get Paint Shop Pro 4 or 5 shareware, much
better.

Yup, but get the demo PSP 6, it has a few very nice features that makes life
easier for 16-color jobs, especially color reduction methods and resizing.
The trick is the way you think when working - you have to get used to
looking at the world in 16 color mode 8)
Also, remember that GPL does a fair bit of smoothing out, so while your
BMP's look raggedy and bad in the paint program, they may not look half bad
in GPL. Oh, and another trick, always start painting in oversize, meaning,
if you are creating a 256x128 MIP, start at 516x256, then resize, and reduce
colors, always trying all options (optimized octree, median cut etc) until
it looks ok. If not, start thinking, and simplify:-)
