Hi Bill,

Thanks for using MS4W :)

Regarding the reduced number of colors in your output image, this is 
usually due to the outputformat of your output image 
(http://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/outputformat.html).   You could try 
quickly to add "IMAGETYPE PNG24" to your mapfile (within your MAP 
object) and see what happens.  I often have to do this when using raster 
files.

Let me know how that goes for you.
