Hello, we are having a problem with XAS of version 15APR99 on our 
newer 24-bit display Suns.  Namely, it fails with the error message:

	XAS: ** TrueColor FOUND!!! 
	XAS: Visual not = default, create 24-bit colormap
	XAS: Using screen width height 1270 924, max grey level 255
	XAS: ***  Using shared memory option for speed ***
	Shared memory id failure: Invalid argument

whereas pseudocolor works fine on older 8-bit displays (running the 
same version of SunOS--5.6 and 5.7).

Since 'XAS' is a binary, I am not sure what it is trying to do with
shared memory, colormaps, and such.  Could you let us know if there
is a workaround to get the TVserver to run correctly?  Thanks.
