By 2 colors do you mean 1 for the plot and 2 for background, or 2 colors of plot and a third for background? What are you using to generate the TEK input? I have used VLT with hsplot (plotting utility for hspice) in 4 and 8 color mode. When the plot contained 5 colors and VLT was in 4 color mode it just wrapped around, so color 4 = color 0. Your plotting package may think it's outputing to a monochrome tek tube. In that case there will be no color codes in the input and it won't matter what you set VLT to. >There, that should boost me up a few points on the HALL of FAME!
