Hello, I'm trying to learn gl, and there is one thing that is most bothersome. When opening a new window with "winopen", the palette of the entire screen changes to whatever is in GL's palette. Is there a way to avoid this? I've tried to read the current colormap before opening a window, but that causes a coredump. I've tried to find a list of 'sacred' map entries (i.e., those that shoulnd't be screwed with) in info, but no luck. I'd really like to have a 256-grayscale palette, but unless I open the window to be the entire screen, the window manager (of course) turns into the null and void. anks, rob -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Unix has its weak points, but its file system is not one of them." -Chris Torek rob rob@asrcmv.albany.edu or rds95@leah.albany.edu or rob@dinner.albany.edu I have no idea what the uucp path to me is.
