[comp.sys.next] A couple of Questions!

jefu@nmt.edu (Jeff Putnam) (04/14/91)

I just got my NeXT color box and am fairly impressed so far.  But I do
have a couple questions.

1) I got a copy of xnext but it doesnt seem to run right.  Am I correct
in assuming its monochrome only so far.  It runs, but the screen 
becomes several tiny screens with xterms running in them - with
different colors and characters about 1 pixel high.

2) I have some data I'd like to display.  It consists of a bunch
of 16 bit integers and I'd like to map these to colors both linearly
and with some other color maps.  I cant quite figure out the
documentation and how to do this.  While I'm sure I'll figure it
out someday, I sort of need the images soon.  Any suggestions?  Sample
source?

3) Is there any way to tell the machine to make applications use
different colors?

4) Is there any way to turn off click-to-type?

thanks...
