From the Sun literature, I see that the Sparcstation 2GS is the lowest end hardware available to offer true 24 bit color (as opposed to 24 bit dithered to 8 bit for display). X11/NEWS supports 8 bit color only. My application (medical image display) calls for 24 bit images display in a windowing environment. Can X11/NEWS and the software that drives the 24 bit stuff run together on one display? Bill Majurski National Institute of Standards and Technology bill@dsys.ncsl.nist.gov
