[comp.windows.x] Wanted: working R3 version of cpicker and 94dpi xfig

lmjm@doc.imperial.ac.UK (03/20/89)

I've tried using the verson of cpicker that recently appeared on expo
but it fails with:
Can't allocate 64 cells for palette.

Pixedit gets a further but, once again, the scroll bars slide up and
down but the associated value changes randomly (the compiler on this
machine widens float parameters to double and the internal
representation doesn't allow you to just chop).  The layout of pixedit
seems snafu'd in some way as well.  Most of the command buttons do not
appear and the pallette of colours is not a grid, the bottom few rows
are skipped to the left by a couple of pixels.

Help!

This is under X.V11R3 on a 4.2 BSD Clipper-based Orion.  I was using
awm as my window manager.


The orion screen is 94 dpi, has anyone fixed up xfig so that it
interrogates X to work out the resolution rather than having it built
in?

	Thanx in advance
