Actually seems to work this morning so I think it was hostname
resolution probs last night.
I've made a post on that.

Yes. Telnet was fine.

Yes I could telnet to mol (the name of the IRIX) and it would resolve
OK.

Ah I didn't check that. Good idea for next time I have probs.

Yes.
My further post, now that I can get the remote display, was that the
Linux Sparc can't allocate the color map. Since that post an hour ago I
have:
1. Had a look at rgb.txt on the SGI and yes there are lots of SGI
specific colours there.
2. copied that rgb.txt over to the Sparc
3. Am looking for a way to merge that color map with the one on the
Sparc.
On the SGI there is a prog called rgb which can creat a color
database from the rgb.txt file.
On the Sparc Linux there is showrgb which decodes the color database
and 'apropos rgb' shows several things which I don't think is what Im
after.
What I want is to merge the ftp'ed over rgb.txt from the SGI with my own
rgb.txt on the Sparc so that the definitions of the colors will be
available for the program when it runs on the Sparc.
What does that?
