Saving TImage to File in 16 Colours??

Is there a way to save a timage as a .BMP in 16 colors
only ? (or even a component addon that performs this
task)

I want to avoid writing (probably buggy) code myself
that writes out the bitmap header and bits manually,
as i don't have much experience with the Windows API.

Has anyone got any code snippets that the would kindly
share with me that will do the job??

Rich.

PS: I am using Delphi 1.

(please reply through EMAIL, as i don't have direct
access to newsgroups very often.)

Look for Tbitmap, copy the picture and use Tbitmap.SaveTofile to save the
image.
