Is Setpallete the standard spelling for the sepalette routine? Sozobon C drove me up the wall because it took me some time to find out the function call was mispelled (they spelled it "Setpallete" instead of "Setpalette" which I think be correct). Anyway, I just found that GCC1.39 spells it "Setpallete" as well. What's the deal? My books refer to the call as "Setpalette," and palette is spelled palette. I haven't a clue as to what a pallete is. I went into my osbind.h files and fixed the entries, though maybe I should change it back if others' programs are going to puke on my computer. What's up? --Cliff

(btw, palette is the proper spelling of the word, Webster says) I don't have my Lattice C 5 manuals handy, but I remember reading that they deliberately mispelled theirs (they call it Setpallete if I recall correctly) because they want to remain compatible with the original Atari bindings. Much as I dislike the seemingly slipshod original bindings, I would leave them that way so that if you distribute your code, everyone else does not have to change your code or their libraries. -- John Schmitt johns@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca ...!unet!utai!utgpu!maccs!johns
