However, I have a old IMLAC graphics terminal that would be perfect for viewing TeX plots - the screen is big enough to hold a full-size 8 1/2 x 11 image. Unfortunately, I don't have a Modula-2 compiler, and I don't relish the thought of translating all of that Modula-2 code into VAX Pascal. Does anyone have a TeX previewer written in any other language that I could add IMLAC terminal support to? What about a _cheap_ Modula-2 compiler? We have an 11/730 running VMS 4.5 with FORTRAN and DIBOL, and have access to an 8600 with Pascal, PL/I, and C. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hate to see a good graphics terminal go unused. Thank you, Rob Malouf RMALOUF@SBCCMAIL.BITNET
