[net.graphics] IPWS, graphics software

Announcing the Interactive Planning Workstation (IPWS), an UNIX-based
package combining graphics, database, and user interface tools
to support high level data analysis and planning. The tools can be used as is
in the so-called Basic Workstation; or they can be further refined by
applications to do specific jobs. Currently, several AT&T organizations
use IPWS for network analysis and planning.

IPWS's graphics are currently based on the CORE standard, although we will
be moving to GKS next year. IPWS's database is a relational one and can store
data in vanilla UNIX files or large physical files. IPWS's user interface
is a menu oriented shell.

IPWS can run in several configurations with a variety of equipment.
The most popular system uses an AT&T 6300 color graphics workstation.
Other equipment can be added with a moderate amount of programming.
