Just as weazel posted

This jumps you farther at the download site.

You'll be downloading a file called iview375.exe

When you download this file, just double click on it and it will install this program on you computer.

When ever you want to change one of your bmp to 256 colour all you need to do is:

1) right click on the file using mouse
2) select    "Open With"
3) select    "IrfanView for ......" from the list
It may not be listed because this would be the first time you used this program so then you'll need to.........
select    "Choose Program" instead
Another box will pop up, select "IrfanView for ......" from the list
and click OK

4) Goto "image" at the top
5) select "decrease color depth"
6) make sure 256 is selected
7) click ok
8) then goto File
9) Save as .............

You're done!
