Aha Tksurfer, of course! 

Will follow up with Ruopeng about freeview, but tksurfer satisfies the goal

Thank you!

not sure about freeview, Ruopeng should be able to answer that part, but it 
should be easy enough in tksurfer. Just load the labels separately and give 
them whatever color you want.
