Hi,

I put the following question on the GRASS user list. It isn't possible with GRASS (or the programs mentioned by Glynn), but if someone on this list can help me further, I would be very grateful. I have been struggling for some time with this problem, and I'll have to process lots of scanned old maps in the near future.

This is probably better done with general image-processing software,
e.g. pnmquant (from the Netpbm package) or "convert -colors ..." (from
ImageMagick).
