Need information as to how to get the .MAP information from a displayed .GIF WITHOUT going to color cycling and entering <s>.
Try using the "e" command to get into the Color Palette mode, then use the "ENTER" key to acquire the actual palette. At that point you should be able to use the "s" key to save as a .MAP file. When saved this way, there will be extra blanks (space characters) between the less than 3-digit values, so as to align columns. Some already available .MAP files (found around the Internet) only have a single space between columns.
If that can not be accomplished, is there any way to compare .MAP files to eliminate duplicates? ..... What I am looking for is a comparision for duplication regardless of the placement of the RGB values as long as they are in the identical sequence between .MAP files.
I am not aware of a utility that currently does this, but one could be written fairly quickly without much effort. It would just take a bit longer to run, so as to bump-down through all possible positions of the .MAP sequences.
