There are such programs and I could send you one. The gotcha is that you still 
will not know how to set the TV without having a standard color chart that 
matches the colors a Coco3 should display.
Put another way, the names given in say the Coco3 service manual don't mean a 
hell of a lot. What does orange mean? What is the percentage of red and green 
required to generate any "orange" much less what you should see with a Coco3?

You might be better off trying to display the widest range of grays; removing 
all color tinting. That ought to balance the guns better than trying to match 
colors.

I do have a program that generates a wide range of grays.
