  Hi everyone,

I have tried all the hints that you have given me without any success.
I am
working with PIM-SM.  I would like to be able to have colored nodes in
my
nam.  I have tried writing

set node(0) [$ns node]
$node(0) color "blue"

in my script to run PIM-SM but it doesn't work.  I get an error message
saying:

_o76: unable to dispatch method color
    while executing
"$n14 color "blue""



I have tried the command

ecolor $n1 $n2 green  # to make the link between n1 and n2 green
ncolor $n1 red                # to make the node n1 red

in my nam script file but it just gives me black nodes and links.

I would appreciate any hints that anyone could give me.

Thanks ,

Judith
