Having problems with creating a DOS extended graphic file

[Minim]

I'm at the moment having problems with creating an extended graphic file while using the program Lemmix. I've figured out that you need at most 8 colors (Along with black, the background color, but the biggest problem is, I don't know which colors pass the planar bitmap scale. I even tried using a 16-color palette to design a level, and even that is unacceptable (It won't even accept 255, 255, 255, which is actually white). Are there any suggestions as to what I can do to get through this problem which seems to complicate every time?

Haven't tried this myself, but I have a random idea. L1 doesn't use 8 bits for one color component, but only 6. Try making white with 0x3F (decimal 63) in each entry.

Hmm, I actually believe Lemmix should be smart enough to convert. I'll get breakfast first, and afterwards try myself or peek at the source code.

Now after breakfast: The editor is closed-source for some reason. So it's random trial-and-error time.

The day after: Eric told me he has lost the Lemmix editor source due to a disk crash. :-/

I haven't used the Lemmix built-in function for that, however if you don't get it to work, you can use ccexplore's myvgaspec.
I attached it in case you don't have it (I hope ccexplore doesn't mind).

I have the http://www6.camanis.net.ipv4.sixxs.org/lemmings/lemmingswelt/?cmd=get&file=/Lemmix+0.0.10.0+Sourcecode.zip" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">Lemmix 0.0.10.0 source.  (You'll probably have to rename the download since the IPv6 gateway doesn't seem to forward the filename properly... or just use http://www.camanis.net/lemmings/lemmingswelt/?cmd=get&file=/Lemmix+0.0.10.0+Sourcecode.zip" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">this link if you have IPv6.)
