If X11 is not set to output 256 colors,
Pseudocolor is not very well supported by the X11 community as it is a very outdated and costly way to handle colors. We have limited support in XQuartz, but you must select the 8bit mode.
Most of these applications probably won't even work on modern Xorg DDXs either. You really should update your applications or ask the developers to support TrueColor... They've had well over a decade to do it...

Thanks Jeremy.
Unfortunately neither the software or operating system is supported
anymore. I prefer the old software to the current alternative (and
already have the licenses), and the SGI platform is so reliable. The
computers are at least 12 years old and the Bruker XwinNMR program, was
replaced about 5-6 years ago!
It is also unfortunate that this was handled so nicely by the old X11. I
haven't yet tried installing the Tiger X11 on a Snow Leopard machine -
would the instructions for doing this under Leopard still work?
Phil.
