There has been some talk here about resolv.conf, and I'd like to ask a question: If you create that file, then then System/Sytem manager/Networking toolchest menu complains that it can't do anything. Why? (I'm running 3.3.1) On a totally unrelated note: Just so this won't be a total waste of bandwidth, here's a small tip: The wsh and textcolor commands talk about the 'current color map', but that didn't help me much and I couldn't find a way with apropos or any man page to map the numbers to the colours. Experimentation reveals that the colours (0,1,2,...) are in the order of the bottom colour bar on the QuickPaint screen. `xshowcmap` also shows this order. Mine are: Black, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Purple, SkyBlue, White, Grey etc. 33 -> 55 is a greyscale from black to white. Of course if you fiddle with the colormap (cedit & etc) then the above will change. /PJ SofPJF@VM.UoGuelph.Ca (Probably also reachable (until ?) at SOFPJF@UOGUELPH.BITNET) Klein bottle for rent, apply within.

Mine are: Use showmap from the "Tools" toolchest (/sur/sbin/showmap) to look at the colormap. Color 0 - 31 are on the bottom row of its display with 0 at the left. A program can use the {rgb,hsv}{i,} functions to find the index of the closest color in the default color map to that specifed as the function argument. -- From the TARDIS of Mark Callow msc@ramoth.sgi.com, ...{ames,decwrl}!sgi!msc "There is much virtue in a window.
