- I'm using DEC's PHIGS rel. 2.3C under VMS/POSIX on a VAXstation 4000. I can't
- start a second instance of a trivial application (one that just opens up phigs,
- writes a line of text, posts it, and closes.) The first invocation works
- fine. The second (started while the first is still running) fails in the
- popenws() call. The workstation we are using is the PPWSTYPE_MOTIF_PEX_WIDGET
- type.
-
- The guess is that too many colormaps are being allocated, so that the 2nd invocation
- can't alloc it's share. I've tried setting the various logicals, such as
- phigs$num_red_for_true, ...blue_for_true, ...green_for_true, and phigs$num_pseudo_colors,
- to small values (even 2). This does not help.
-
- Thanks for any ideas you might provide,
-
