The Unix Pathway Tools displays an error message saying it is unable to allocate or display certain colors — what do I do?
This problem usually occurs because the colormap on the display host is full, which is often caused by the Netscape program (a known color hog). Primarily, this will occur with video card graphics settings that allocate only 8 bits to color. It is best to allocate 24 bits to the color depth. If this is not possible, to work around the problem, exit from Netscape and then restart the Pathway Tools. If you wish to run Netscape concurrently with the Pathway Tools, invoke Netscape using the command netscape -install which instructs Netscape to use a separate colormap, or invoke it with a limited number of assigned colors like this netscape -ncols 100 . 2. Pathway Tools Hang or Freeze 2.1.
