233.0. "%MCC-E-PM-FILOPENERR, Map file open error, trying to use iconic map on B &W terminal" by DECWET::BINGHAM (John) Fri Aug 03 1990 22:34

...BMS2... installed running mcc from black and white monitor workstation

mcc access from dterm session:

---------
  $ manage/enterprise/presentation=mcc-iconic_map_pm
---------

gets:

---------
  color not allocated:  redColor not allocated
      red open failed
  %MCC-E-PM-FILOPENERR, Map file open error
---------

happens with black and white systems, ULTRIX or VMS

Haven't been able to find anything about the problem or how to fix it.
Is there a restriction (to color systems) or a fix to it?

233.1Let me know how it goes.TOOK::F_MESSINGERMon Aug 06 1990 12:3513
    John,
    
       You're actually seeing two messages there.  The first one "color not
    allocated" is an informational message that was beneficial to the
    development/debugging envioronment.  I was not quick enough to remove
    it before the code freeze cutoff.  You see it mainly on monochrome
    systems...seeing it does not mean there is a problem.
    
       The second one "map file open error" probably has something to do
    with not being able to read in icon bitmap files.  Check the protection 
    of the mcc_icon:*.bitmap files.

Besides redColor the color blindness extends to lightblueColor too.

I thought that the color error resulted in the file open error.

Thanks
