You definately should.
But I'll attempt to compile the plug-in for Windows as well. After all, there
is a GIMP for Windows and C++ should be portable (I didn't use features like
templates or exceptions).

I don't know that program. Anyone who uses it and can tell more about it?

That's why I started with SCREEN8 and SCREEN12...
But it shouldn't be too hard. The plug-in gets the filename of the file to
open. I can simply substitute ".sr5" with ".pl5" to find the palette file
(and try ".PL5" as well, for case sensitive file systems). The GIMP supports
indexed modes, for example in SCREEN8 the palette contains the actual SCREEN8
colors.
It would be nice to allow loading just a palette file, without an image. I'll
have to investigate to see if the GIMP can handle that.
Bye,
Maarten
