Gerrit,
palcat is just for concatenation. I patched it a while ago to support
multiple concatenations. Examples of use which i have posted
previously to this list are as follows:
palcat -o merged.bmp -i image2.bmp image1.bmp image2.bmp image3.bmp
Will give you a copy of image2.bmp with the palettes of
image1.bmp
and image3.bmp attached in the corresponding order. The colors used in
image2.bmp will be shifted according to how many palette entries are
in image1.bmp.
palcat -o merged.bmp image1.bmp image2.bmp image3.bmp
Will give you a copy of image1.bmp with the palettes of
image2.bmp
and image3.bmp attached in the corresponding order.
palcat -o merged.bmp -o wtf.bmp image1.bmp image2.bmp image3.bmp
Will give you a copy of wtf.bmp with the palettes of
image1.bmp,
image2.bmp, and image3.bmp pre-appended in the corresponding order.
Note though that the order the palettes are appended might not be what
you'd expect. i.e.:
palcat -o out.bmp -i in.bmp 1.bmp 2.bmp in.bmp 3.bmp
Would give you a palette in out.bmp which looks like:
2.bmp 1.bmp in.bmp 3.bmp
Rather than what one would expect:
1.bmp 2.bmp in.bmp 3.bmp

Although i think that it would be nice if there was a decent image
editor that ran on modern-day systems which supported all the palette
editing features one would expect from a palette-based image editor.
The only promising ones i can seem to find are DPaint clones - though
they either cost $$, only work on one platform, or are still "in
development".
