Wanted: Any information on installing the Hewlett-Packard PLOT/21 graphics software. The software is currently installed per the installation manual, with the appropriate constants for our VAX 11/780, and our new HP 7221T plotter is drawing all sorts of spurious lines on the test plots. The tty driver uses Xon/Xoff to communicate with the terminal, and the plotter sits in eavesdrop mode. Not being a VAXHACKER or Wizard, I cannot tell if the driver is stuffing the datastream with CR/LFs or other escaped characters. As the commands are completely unreadable, the stuff is hard to debug. So, what can I do? If anyone knows of a system that has a working 780-UNIX-7221-PLOT/21 configuration could they send along a summary of their software/hardware modifications. We are running UNIX 4.1bsd, have 1.5meg (if that matters), and the tyy is routed through a PACX. Any other information on request. please mail to: auvax!chichak alberta!auvax!chichak ubc-visi!alberta!auvax!chichak uw-beaver!ubc-visi!alberta!auvax!chichak ... or use the US snail service Andrei Chichak Department of Computing Services Athabasca University 12352-149 St. Edmonton, Alberta CANADA T5V-1G9 thanx.
