Awhile ago I posted a message saying our andrew console windows gave a speckled appearance after building andrew patch level 7. We've discovered that the speckled appearance was due to a foreground color designation in our .preferences file. We use a common .preferences file for use with all of our workstations, so color attributues are generally set regardless of whether a particular monitor is color or black & white. Setting foreground color for the console program, e.g, "console.ForegroundColor: yellow", causes fonts to appear speckled and not very legible on black & white monitors under patch level 7--this speckled appearance doesn't occur when using earlier versions of andrew.
