[quote:e483e565f2="gcardonav"]Mike:I have ftp'ed the file n6388.fits to the directory you asked me too. On the other hand I reseted my machine but the ximtool still crashes when I use 256 colors.

Or are there settings with x11 to change to be able to run 256 colors ?Gus[/quote:e483e565f2]As it seems this problem ended up unsolved, let me come in and try to give a remedy as graphics are one of the only areas in computing that I have sufficient knowledge. Gus, the idea you have at the end of this post is what you need to do. Adjust the setting within ximtool as you were instructed by fitz and make the proper adjustments in the actual graphics setting on your mac. Have you tried running
