problem allocating colors

[Don Smith]

Hi,

My computer can show only 256 colors, so when I try to run
various SWARM applications (including heatbugs) I get errors like
the one shown below.   Because so many colors are getting mapped
to white, I am not seeing the whole animation.  Arguably, this
is a bug that the SWARM team should fix.   I modified one application
so it allocated colors by name, but it's tedious to do.

  Thanks a lot, Don (address@hidden)
