> > > ive been looking at olaf's .pal file description and i cant understand them really. it says that its an array[0-255], so does this mean that its an array with 256 slots(i assume it is). and then it is a record of (red,green,blue;byte), so does this mean that each slot in the array is another array of each of these items?. so in c++ how can you read a .pal file, i just want to read it and experiment with it. can someone explain all this for me?

That's just an example. 0 to 255 are also valid.

> i assume i increases to put more entires into the array, right? how would you read a .pal file and enter all of the colors into the array?

With fread().
