What program are you using to convert those .BMPs ???
You might just need to add a "color reduction" command-line-option.
To create 256 color BMPs with djpeg, all we need is "-colors 256"
djpeg32.exe -bmp -colors 256 input.jpg output.bmp
The program you are using to do BMP2GIF might also need
something like this.
