I downloaded Sindi's netpbm package and followed your directions,
including starting X this time with -swaprgb. (After trying it
first without it.) It's the best result so far, but still a long
way from looking 'real'.

There's much better color, but washed out, and the whole image is
crosshatched. Like there was a window screen between it and me.
Looks pretty good from 20' away....

This is what dithering does. Running Win98 at 4-bit color and choosing another background color would probably give the same effect. Some of their colors are 4-bit but most are not, so to approximate them you get a combination of at least two other colors.

Now my xterms have a blue title bar instead of a red one.

Thanks to Sindi for that package and the good docs for it.

Thanks to David Moberg who compiled what I packaged.
