[comp.sys.atari.st] Uniterm & EZDraw GDOS

schell@iris (Stephan Schell) (12/18/87)

	Maybe I'm just slow, but has anybody been able to get EZ Draw
(same as Easy Draw ?) to properly read .GEM files produced by Uniterm
1.7b ?  I'd like to generate Tektronix graphics on the VAXen on campus
(I can), view them at home using Uniterm (I can), and import the
graphics into EZ Draw for my own diabolical purposes (I can't).  The
TEKTOGEM program included with Uniterm seems to generate approximately 
the correct file, but the resulting .GEM file lacks some initialization 
junk near the top and seems to use a different coordinate system than 
EZDraw-generated .GEM files.  (I compared the two .GEM files using 
Disk Doctor, a raw disk sector examination program).

	Help me to be enlightened, please.

	It peeves me that an important advertised attribute of GDOS, its
portability, does not actually exist.  Also, is it ever going to be
officially released to non-developers ?  Arghhh...

	Thank you very much in advance,

	Stephan Schell

These paths still work, I think:
