Hi!

I´m programming a pbem game with GRX 2.3, which will run on DOS and
Linux/X11.

Now I´m running in a little problem, maybe some of you guys can help me.
The game uses bitmaps with 230 colors (the others are reserved for my
interface-graphics). With DOS and X11 with more than 256 colors, no
problem - BUT:
If I use X11 with 256 colors, grx just allocates the free colors (the
ones other applications didn´t use). My question is: "How can I say GRX
that it should use ALL colors with a color switching technique - as seen
in netscape navigator or lincity for example?"

Thanks in advance

Stefan
