Is the OpenWindows only 8bpp by default? That's what it looks like to me.
When I try running 16bpp or 32bpp, I get the BLACK and WHITE colour scheme
in X.

Where can I get a OpenWindows source (or binary) which will compile on
Linux [or is already for Linux]?
I tried compileing several versions, olvwm4, 33truecolor 4trucolor,etc
from Sunsite, Mit, others
- I could never run make successfully and I was not successful in
getting rid of the errors it came up with.

ps. how can I tell which version of Openwin and Xview I have?

Create the file .xserverrc in your home directory with the right
command for starting your X server in 16bpp mode. For example:

exec /usr/X11R6/bin/X -bpp 16

This should start the server in the mode you require when you use the
"openwin" command.
