Ken,

Perhaps you are not saving the color table (an example of your code
would be helpful). Try this:

window,/free,retain=2
loadct,0
tvscl,dist(256)
xyouts,0,0,'Hello',charsize=10,/device
tvlct,r,g,b,/get ; gets the color lookup table
write_gif,'test.gif',tvrd(),r,g,b

I recall having this problem with an IDL 3.6 on an SGI platform. However
these days with IDL 4.0.1 on SGI I don't have any problems (using
WRITE_GIF in the manner shown above).

Cheers,
Liam.
