Color palette changes; boating; Wez

[John Nugent]

   I  am a new user, planning to run the program on a boat, with a remote
   handheld  viewer  in  the  cockpit,  and a laptop running inthe cabin.
   Waiting  for the hand held to arrive, I am expeimenting with a desktop
   as the viewer, and the laptop as the server

   I  am  using   free version of vnc4,  xp home on viewer, and XP pro on
   server. A chart-drawing
        application   on   server   is  running  in  256  colours,  using
   compatibility mode
      set in windows.
       The  server  shows normal colours, but the  viewer  screen  is  in
   bright reddish, difficult to read colours.

       Everything  else  seems  to  work  fine.  What can I do to improve
   matters?
