[Chameleon] RGB Map Output and Keymap Problems

[Rene Teniere]

Sweet, that did it! Thanks a bunch. I swear half of the problems we
encounter are caused by our own stupidity or momentary lack of logical
thought processes, however, it is good that there are people like you
who guide us through these annoying problems.

Thanks Paul

ok, try setting the output format in the cwc2.xml configuration file to

png24.  I think that it should honour the format selected in the map 
file, but it may override this from the configuration file.

Cheers

Paul
