Does anyone have an example of an X11 application which creates its
own reaad/write colormap and manages enter/leave notification to
install/remove said colormap?

I have written a program to read/display Sun rasterfiles and Compu$erve
GIF files and am using the shared colormap model such that I can only
have 256 colors allocated at once.  This makes it impossible to display
more than one image at once.  I agree that the merits of multiple
colormaps and causing the rest of the sceen to go "technicolor" when
using the installed colormap are dubious, but I'd like to add the
functionality none the less. 

If anyone wants the code for the rasterfile or GIF viewers feel free
to send e-mail.  I'll make them and some images available via ftp
at a later date.

p.s.
  Re: xmac posting, I didn't notice `xpert@athena.mit.edu' in the CC:
line when I replied to David's message till it was too late.  Sorry
about that.  But since you all read it: Anyone who has Mac images that I
didn't distribute (don't have) can ftp to sun.soe.clarkson.edu
(128.153.12.3) and put them in ~ftp/submit. 

Thanks.
