The attachement didn't make it through.
I got the copy at another email address and put the hppa binary,
source, and "README" in a tarball:
	http://iou.parisc-linux.org/hppa/xcmap.tgz

When running twm on c3k (1280x1024x8), xcmap reports:
| Default visual is 256-color PseudoColor
| 10 private color cells available

Things are worse with fvwm:
| Default visual is 256-color PseudoColor
| 0 private color cells available

It didn't matter which window mangler I used.
Both failed to provide the text color.

xchat2 wants 23 colors - but they don't need to be private though.
Will add some more printks to xchat so I know what/how it's failing.

thanks again for xcmap....handy in this case.
