I really wouldn't do that.

0 to 256 -> 0,
257 to 513 -> 2,

You misunderstood. I should have thought about / with integer operands being an integer divide in C (right?). In ObjectPascal, it's a floating divide. I actually meant to denote the floating division, and rounding afterwards. That should make more sense.

Also, I tend to look at it from the theoretical point of view. If 0 maps to 0, and 65535 maps to 255, then the mapping formulae quite simply is /65535*255. Plus rounding, of course.
