[GRASSLIST:6328] RE: colro table on 256 color displays

[Kingsley Burlinson]

Thanks to Hamish and Glynn for the suggestion to recompile d.colormode 
from grass 5 in grass6.
 Yes hamish, I first tried with the binary from grass 5    -    ooops.  :-o

Recompiling does work with no changes to the code and  a small change to 
the makefiles and this overcomes the problems of having only a 256 
colour display card.
