Previews of the 3 different 256-color not really (xterm's palette is programmable, not true of "every other" terminal). 88 or 256 colors in xterm is a configure option. Some video cards don't have enough memory for the 256, so 88 is a choice. A 256-color xterm can be setup to use 88 colors. > palettes can be found here, for the curious: > > http://www.cs.drexel.edu/~mjw452/256.html > > ~Matt -- Thomas E.
