I have made the boot image, and have got it down to 4 colors. What I don't understand is how it is possible to use KoS "convert.exe" (which requires a 2166 byte file) from the image I get out of photoshop. If I make the image 4 colors exactly and convert to BMP it comes out to be 2120 bytes. then as I add a single additional color to the image and then save as a 4bpp BMP file, it is physically impossible to come up with 2166. I have found that 15 colors yields 2164 and 16 colors yields 2168 bytes. I am really starting to get frustrated with this.

Is there another converter. The FAQ makes references to 3 converters, and I can only find KoS's. Any help would be great. I really want to try this, but it is a real pain... I made this image in about 1 hour, and have been working for the last 3 to get it the right file size.

p.s. I have included the file at 4 colors exactly...if anyone could convert it for me. I thought that i'd ask ;)
