1 ) Can anyone tell me more on how to display
my_nice_povray_rendered_targa_file(tm) in *true color* ?

I already have this :

...
  BITMAP *thing;
...
  if (set_gfx_mode(GFX_VESA2L, 640, 480, 0, 0) != 0) {
      printf ("uh-oh");
      exit(1);
   }

  thing = load_tga("thing.tga",pal);
  set_palette(pal);
  draw_sprite(screen, board, 0, 0);

  readkey();
...
...

but that looks rather 8bbp-ish.

And yet another silly question  :  If I put this tga-fila in a data-file, I
do :
  thing = (RLE_SPRITE *)data[THING_TGA].dat;
... but I don't know how to get the palette right.
