This sounds like McIDAS is allocating a private color map for the McIDAS-X session. This will be done when your X window session already has applications that are using up the majority of the available colors. the solution is to either exit those other applications and then start McIDAS, or to reconfigure your X server to run in something other than 8-bit mode. >2) I tried using the CIRCLE command yesterday and got some error messages on >the dec-term window from which i launched mcidas.

The error message was the following: > >unaligned access process id=a number <circle.k> va=some hexidecimal number >ra=some hexidecimal number pc=some hexidecimal number inst=some hexidecimal >number > >i actually get several of these error messages per CIRCLE command, all with >different process id's. > >Any ideas? I have never seen this one. It certainly warrants a closer look. I will try to reproduce the problem if you can send me the exact invocation command line that you were running. Tom
