Notes:
.simrc,
When starting, GENESIS looks for an initialization file,
first in the current working directory, and then in your home
directory. After installing genesis, this file is created in the
GENESIS installation directory. After making any appropriate
edits,
you should copy it to your home directory and insure that the
genesis executable is in your path.
A new GENESIS command line option -defaultcolor will cause GENESIS
to use the display's default colormap, even if the default visual
is
readonly. The net result is that colorscale colors will be shared
among multiple GENESIS processes, but GENESIS will fail to allocate
a colorscale if the default colortable is full. This option may be
used to avoid X protocol errors on some SGI systems where the X11
server defaults to a TrueColor (24 bit) visual.
