Scowen) Organization: Space_Physics_Rice_University Lines: 18 Has anybody out there tried to use basic progs like xloadimage and ximage under the R4 twm? I'm having problems with these pieces of software writing to the colormap. The curious thing about it is that the behavior is intermittent, in that sometimes the software will run fine, and then the colormap access cuts out after a certain time (usually about 20 mins); or the software will never be able to write to the colormap. I've been in touch with Dave Thompson at NCSA and he's of the opinion that twm is not ICCCM compliant and that's the problem. The X gurus here at Rice think otherwise, and that there is some flag you can set in a .twmrc file that will make the colormap accessible. Does anybody have any suggestions about this? It seems like people should have run into this before. -- Paul Scowen Department of Space Physics Rice University (uk1@spacsun.rice.edu)
