This is a resend, since I didn't get any response
except for on comiseration from a chap with similar
problems.
-----------------------------------------------------
Help!
I anonftp'd Khoros 1.0 Patch Level 5 from pprg.eece.unm.edu
recently (SGI binaries and required system directories, etc.).
Some of the programs seem to work just fine, but some of them
do not.  Editimage does not seem to be using the proper colourmap,
even when I use the VIFF files provided.  Putimage does work,
though.  Our hardware and graphics configurations are as follows:
 
HW:

1 36 MHZ IP12 Processor
FPU: MIPS R2010A/R3010 VLSI Floating Point Chip Revision: 4.0
CPU: MIPS R2000A/R3000 Processor Chip Revision: 3.0
On-board serial ports: 4
Data cache size: 64 Kbytes
Instruction cache size: 64 Kbytes
Main memory size: 24 Mbytes
Integral Ethernet: ec0, version 0
Disk drive: unit 6 on SCSI controller 0
Disk drive: unit 1 on SCSI controller 0
Integral SCSI controller 0: Version WD33C93A
Iris Audio Processor, rev 3
Graphics board: GR1.2 Bit-plane, Z-buffer, Turbo options installed
 
GRAPHICS:
 
IRIS 4D Graphics Inventory (ginv v1.0)

FUNCTIONS NOT AVAILABLE:
afunction, fogvertex, two-sided lighting, blendfunction, scrbox, texture-mapping, polymode, 64x64 patterns. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------I have followed the configuration notes w.r.t. .cshrc, environment
variables, and file paths.  Have I done something wrong?  In
Editimage these subsystems don't do anything :
    Interactive LUT
    Colormap
    Pseudocolour

Is version 2.0 out yet?  Should I use it instead?

Regards,
