The question:
I'm having a color map problem with the networker gui. I'm trying to
display it from a 4000 running DU 4.0b to a vms box. I get the following
error:
bravo:anderson: Warning: Cannot allocate colormap entry for "#845a4f"
Warning:
Cannot parse default background color spec
Warning: Cannot allocate colormap entry for "#2d5b62"
Most colors are ok execpt for some on the pull down menus. Any advice?
Jim

That was it. I exited netscape and the colormap problems were solved.
Tried running xcmap but it never came back with any info.
