Bugger that off,
	Be a real man. Write a little function and use the ports.

port 0x3C8 is used to set the pallette number U are updating,
port 0x3C9 is used to output 3 valued RGB to tell it the colours. This then
incriments 0x3C8 and will wrap it back from 255 to 0.

	For more info.. check out "Ryan Riley Robinson's" home page. Use a search
engine but it contains lots of info, including the port to get the current
values from. (I think they are 0x3C7 followed by inputting 3 values from
0x3C9. It also describes 0x3C6 if you want to know.)
