20010502: Gempak help on Linux box



Talbot,

Now that you have the display on the Linux box set to 8 bit, does ntl still 
give the
NCLRAL error, or does it respond with the number of colors available and asked 
for?
If you are short of colors, you can decrease the number of colors requested by 
ntl.

Are you planning on running all the gempak sessions on the Alpha back to the 
linux boxes
or will you be installing GEMPAK on the Linux boxes?
