RTR/!PalMake/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

This application allows you to create a 256 colour palette
on the RISC PC computer.
Dragging the pointer sets the end point values.
Clicking in the pointer's colour box allows the colour to be set.
"Part" as in "Invert Part" means the colours between the arrows.
Palettes can be extracted from GIF and Clear files,
drag their icons onto the bar to load.
It works best in the higher colour modes like 32 thousand or 16 million.
This is because in the 256 colour mode you are trying to define a new pallette
and display it with the colours of the origional one.
To actually change the computers pallette use my "Pallette Watch" application.
Pallattes created here can be used in "Pallette Watch", "Raw Read" or "Sat Read" 00000000 50 61 6c 65 74 74 65 20 4d 61 6b 65 0a 43 6f 70 |Palette Make.Cop| 00000010 79 72 69 67 68 74 20 4d 69 6b 65 20 43 6f 6f 6b |yright Mike Cook| 00000020 20 31 39 39 35 20 2d 20 4d 75 73 62 75 72 79 20 | 1995 - Musbury | 00000030 43 6f 6e 73 75 6c 74 61 6e 74 73 20 61 6c 6c 20 |Consultants all | 00000040 72 69 67 68 74 73 20 72 65 73 65 72 76 65 64 0a |rights reserved.| 00000050 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | | 00000060 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 35 20 48 65 6c | 5 Hel| 00000070 6d 73 68 6f 72 65 20 52 64 2e 20 48 61 73 6c 65 |mshore Rd.
