Has anyone written a driver for Tektronix 4014 terminals for use under Starbase? Seems like this would be a very useful item -- certainly would be for us. Any information would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance lynch@chemres.tn.cornell.edu, or lynch@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu

If you find one PLEASE let me know. We have oh soooo many TEKTRONIX 4010/4014 and 4105 emulations that it just makes me ill not having this driver. One persons solution to this was to purchase a bunch of HP graphics terminal emulators for his PC's. Seems like the expensive way to do things. ARE YOU LISTENING OUT THERE HP! THE WORLD'S TERMINALS ARE RUNNING IN TEK 4010/4014 MODE! ARE YOU GOING TO SUPPLY A DRIVER IN THE FUTURE? sincerely, spirit@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu

There is a product from HP called the Starbase Driver Development Guide (SDDG) that allows you to write drivers for *any* graphics output/input device! Check your directory /usr/lib/starbase/sddg. There you will find some of the files you need. The others have to be purchased from HP. We used SDDG to write Starbase drivers for Tektronix 4014, GraphOn, Challange, and Pericom terminals on our HP9000/500. The bad news is that when we used the same package on the 300, with the proper minor modifications according to the instructions (changing a struct to a pointer of a struct in the supplied source code and a few other things), it doesn't work when you try to use rectangle(3G) and certain simple fonts. Otherwise it works OK on the 300 too. Questions to HP: What do I need to change in order that SDDG will run 100% OK on the 300s? What about the 800? Some of the necessary .o files seem to be missing from the HP-UX 3.01 distribution. The HP Part Number for the SDDG manual was 97009-90000 when we bought the product in 1986. ^ Bo Thide'-------------------------------------------------------------- | | Swedish Institute of Space Physics, S-755 91 Uppsala, Sweden |I| [In Swedish: Institutet f|r RymdFysik, Uppsalaavdelningen (IRFU)] |R| Phone: (+46) 18-403000.

Not only that, they run REGIS (blecch!), Calcomp, Tek41xx, >Postscript, and a whole host of others... I must add my vote to this request. I don't use the HP graphics package partly for the above reasons. We have a LaserWriter, about 10 4010/4014/4105 emulators on Mac's and IBM compatables, 5 Z-19's with 4010 graphics boards, 3 HP-9020A graphics screens, and 4 HP pen plotters. We wrote our own package. The other reason for writing our own was that we have other computers besides HP. So a standard would be extremely useful. Perhaps the world will come to that.

I don't use the HP graphics The software exists and is called "Starbase Driver Development Guide". See the directory /usr/lib/starbase/sddg for some of the files and contact HP to buy the rest (Starbase driver template files written in C!). Maybe you will get it for free (?). With this development package you can write Starbase drivers for *any* graphics input/output device. We used it on our 9000/540 to write drivers for Tek 401x, GraphOn 250 and Pericom graphics terminals. ^ Bo Thide'-------------------------------------------------------------- | | Swedish Institute of Space Physics, S-755 91 Uppsala, Sweden |I| [In Swedish: Institutet f|r RymdFysik, Uppsalaavdelningen (IRFU)] |R| Phone: (+46) 18-403000.
