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. grant
