I'm not sure how many IBM 6152's there are at CMU or even if they are used in public clusters, but I was wondering if you have the same problem with them as we do: The newest ATK software (X11R3 distribution) doesn't run ideally on the 6152's we have. The 6152's are color machines. When highlighting a region (which usually just reverses black letters on white backround to white letters on black background), the region becomes pale letters on a yellow background, which is totally unreadable. I suspect this problem arises because the ATK software is simply XORing the region of the highlight. On a color machine, XORing colors produces weird colors (to me, they all look pale/gross and yellowish). ... Just thought the ATK software group might like to know this ... Has anyone else run into this or found a solution around this?
