I was just demoing my new, spiffy *Amiga 2000* and was looking through the Extras disk and seemingly found a bug. When using Freemap, one cannot load Palette. The Amiga wasn't short on Chip ram and it did not report any error on the menu line. I didn't play around with this for long so, perhaps something was causing it. Can anyone else duplicate this? If so, what's the problem? --Lee (...!boulder!spot!tramp!hunt)

What a lot of people don't realize about Palette is that it opens on the *FRONT* screen no matter what that one is. So if you don't like the colors of the 1.3 MicroEMACS, no problem. Start uemacs, drag the screen down so that you can see the palette icon behind it and start palette (or use C-X ! Run Palette). Palette will run on the EMACs screen! Now you can change the colors to your hearts content. This works for anything that doesn't muck alot with the color registers. So the answer to your question is, FreeMap creates it's own screen down at the bottom of the display and it is in "front." Pallete trys to open it's window on it and finds that the screen is too small to support the size window it would like to open and exits. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
