At the Naval Research Lab there was a program running on a Silicon Graphics
Iris Workstation that allow the viewing of floating-point astronomical data.
We were told that the program comes from the Smithsonian Institute and is called
(not exactly sure of the precise name) SAOVIEW for Smithsonian Astronomical
Viewer.
Does anyone know about this program? Is it public domain? If so is there an
FTP site for it? We would need the c code to compile on a sparc.
Post or email.

I have also got this running under X11 on SCO 3.2.2 using Thomas Roells X11R4 server. Runs great !! Hope this helps.

Runs great !! Hang on guys. A new update of SAOimage, with several bug fixes and [finally] decent documentation is being prepared. It should be available in a couple weeks (app. June 20).
