This posting is  regarding problems faced with VEM - the graphics
editor for  OCT designs.  We have installed OCTTOOLS on the SOLBOURNE,
which runs on a sparc platform. The monitors that we use are the
CONSOLE and the NCD 17c color x-terminal.

I am faced with some problems when bringing up the "layers:physical"
palette  while doing physical editing in VEM. The colors associated
with the layers corresponding to POLY, MET1 and MET2 are not displayed
in the palette.

But while running VEM remotely from a DEC (DECstation 5000/200)
platform all the colors corresponding to the layers (i.e including
POLY, MET1 and MET2) are visible.

Moreover, when trying to view a leaf cell on the SOLBOURNE which was
built while on the DEC platform, some of the POLY and MET1 layers show
up after they have been zoomed down.

It seems to me as a problem with the colormap. I tried to search for
information from the various files but to no avail.

I would greatly appreciate any help in any direction which would help
me solve this problem.

Thanks,
--vinod
