2 things: 1) of course I could write my own, but isn't that part of the purpose of this community? i.e. about a hundred have already written this code, so it's probably posted somewhere, and about a thousand others use an existing commercial/shareware converter (including pilrc, apparently). And 2) it's not quite as easy as one might think - there is no mathematical correlation between 24 and 16 bit palettes. Said another way, NO 16 bit color exists in a 24 bit palette, regardless of the world calling it "True Color". So you're off to a closest match routine... which I admit isn't rocket science, but, again, if someone's already posted it or offering it as shareware for $10, it's certainly worth the 4.8 minutes of my time, rather than the 1-2 hours it'd take to write.
