I posted this yesterday, but our connection to the outside world died for a few hours and it didn't appear to get out... Started a new class last night, and the Prof mentioned that SRGP for the PC and Macintosh was freely available by anonymous FTP from some university. Unfortunately, she didn't know where specifically. Anyone know where I can snarf the PC version from? Turbo-Pascal, or C source would be equally acceptable! (This is for an interactive computer graphics class using Foley, Van Dam ( 2nd Edition). Thanks in advance for your help!

This server provides several services for readers of "Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice", 2nd edition by Foley, van Dam, Feiner, and Hughes (Addison-Wesley, 1990) ISBN 0-201-12110-7 There are several distinct "services" you can obtain from this server, each identified by a unique keyword. To obtain the service, mail a message to graphtext@cs.brown.edu containing the keyword (and only the keyword) in the "Subject:" line. Only one service can be obtained per message. Here are the services currently available, with the appropriate "Subject:" lines shown: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Help The server sends you this helpful message in response. If the server program seems to be broken somehow, send mail to Dave Sklar (dfs@cs.brown.edu) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Get-Text-Bug-List Use this service to obtain a list of known "bugs" in the text. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Report-Text-Bug Use this service to report a bug in the text. The body of your message should give the page and line number of the bug, and if possible, indicate the necessary correction to be made. Please check the "text-bug-list" before submitting a bug report so you don't submit a duplicate bug report. Please don't submit a bug report unless you are sure that there is a bug in the text; this service is not for raising questions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Get-Text-Algorithms Use this service to get instructions on how to obtain electronic copies of many of the major algorithms (all in Pascal) presented in the textbook. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Software-Distribution Use this service to get instructions on how to obtain SRGP and SPHIGS, the software packages described in chapters 2 and 7. These include information on all three versions: 1) UNIX/X11 (available via ftp) 2) Macintosh (available via ftp, except Pascal via floppy) 3) IBM-PC and compatibles (available via floppy) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Get-Software-Bug-List Use this service to obtain a list of known "bugs" in SRGP/SPHIGS. This list does not include omissions and bugs that are documented in the SRGP/SPHIGS reference manuals. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Report-Software-Bug Use this service to report a bug in the software or in the doc associated with the software. If you can present a code fragment that isolates the bug, all the better. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- At a later date, we will support services for the sharing of exercises produced by instructors using the text, and for the submission of suggestions for improvement of the text in later revisions. -- Ethan A.

Unfortunately, she didn't know where >specifically. Anyone know where I can snarf the PC version from? Many thanks for the assistance for all who replied by E-MAIL. For anyone else who is looking for the Simple Raster Graphics Package (SRGP) as taught in Computer Graphics-- Principles and Practice (Foley, van Dam, Feiner, and Hughes, Addison-Wesley, 1990, 2nd Edition), it _is_ available via anonymous ftp from Brown University: FTP 128.148.31.66 cd pub binary get srgp.tar.Z (Likewise, sphigs.tar.Z is also available in the same directory.) The UNIX and MAC (C versions) of SRGP currently available is v0.9c, dated 28 August 90. Additional information is that there will be another (formal?) release from Addison-Wesley around the first week or two of October. Preliminary indications indicate that the cost for students will only be $14.95 for this version, which presumably includes some documentation. No more details are available at this time. Again, thanks!
