256 color image on a 16 color screen?

Hello

I'm writing a program, wich uses 640x480 16 color VGA screen. I need to
display a 256 color bitmap picture on it. How do I convert 256 colors of a
picture to 16 color? (I use TP7)

Thanks in advance

change the original graphic in a graphics program (mspaint works) from 256
colour, to 16 colour. it makes the colours wierd though, i had to change the
colour component on some graphics i wanted to store on a floppy disk :o( not
too good :o(
