I'm starting to play with GRASS after several months away from it.
If I take a gif file (not necessarily map data) and display it with xv,
xpaint, or netscape it looks great. If I import it into GRASS and
display it with d.rast it looks awful. The information is correct, but my
color map is very poor. Is there an easy way of getting a better color
map, possibly from X. It would take me all day to edit the color table
with d.colors. Indeed, even a text editor wouldn't work very well,
because I simply want to make things look like they do in the other
packages. Doing this with an editor would be a pain.Dave Mandel

Using Kang's binary for Linux, I've had very good success with r.in.gif to
bring in scanned aerial photographs (8-bit color). The colormaps seem quite
accurate. You might want to consider upgrading if you haven't already.
