# -Q2.A.2- ,using a machine with less than 8 bit color, run?

    From: -II-  Tk Questions and Answers - How can I:

    A2.A.2. Tk doesn't behave very well with less than 8-bit color screens.  To
    try to use it, find all the places in the Tk/wish source where
    DefaultDepthOfScreen is invoked to test the number of bit-planes.  Change all
    of these to pretend there is just 1 bit-plane, or call a procedure which
    monitors a Tcl variable so that it is configurable, and you should be okay.

    Another alternative is to see if the server you are using has alternative
    visual / color models, such as static visual, etc.  One of the alternatives
    may allow Tk to work better.
