NAME
Xwincmaps - UnixWare X Server color map file
DESCRIPTION
The server reads the /usr/X/defaults/Xwincmaps file to fill up
the static color map. Each line has 'R', 'G', and 'B' values.
There are several colormaps in the default Xwincmaps file, but
custom colormaps can be created and added to this file. The
server takes the first uncommented colormap (without '#' in
the first column) as the valid colormap data.
The format of the colormap data is:
colormap type screen_num num_colors
RED_VAL, BLUE_VAL, GREEN_VAL,
RED_VAL, BLUE_VAL, GREEN_VAL,
.
