The PNG should look the same as what you are viewing.  It just
creates an XPM image from the final pixmap that is displayed in the
Xastir drawing area, then converts it to a PNG as the last step.

It sounds like you're getting bit by some eXceed code that is trying
to convert the Unix colors into the Windows colors.  How many bits
of color are you running on Unix and on win2k?  Perhaps there's a
mismatch there as well.

I'd hunt around with google with respect to eXceed problems, to see
if you can track it down that way.
