TWIMC:
I am using a DEC vt125 terminal with the ReGIS capabilities.
I am trying to utilize the (purported) color capability of the
vt125. Here is a description of the problem:
According to the documentation 6 bits/pixel are allocated
for the external monitor. (2 ea R,G,B) This should give
64 colors. Now, try and try again I can only display 4
*different* colors *at one time*. Initially I surmised
that since the HLS color model is segmented into 64 groups
that I wasn't properly specifying the writing sequence (i.e
[ w(i(h<hue> l<lightness> s<saturation>)) ].
Has anyone encountered this problem and solved it ? I would
GREATLY appreciate any help guidance and/or examples of code
that can display the said 64 colors.
