Does anyone know where I can find a public domain program that will
preview CGM files? It doesn't have to do anything fancy like editing.
I just want to view the CGM files I'll be creating in a window on my
workstation to make sure they look right. Oh, yea: I need this for a SUN,
ideally under SUNVIEW but I could probably also get an X Windows version to
work. I don't have ftp access, so someone will either have to mail it to me
or tell me where to get it from an archive-server. Any info about such a
program would be appreciated......
Thanks in advance,
-Jeff

The Pittsburgh Supercomputer Centre has a program called gplot which translates cgm files to many output formats and/or window systems including PostScript, Tek4xxx, SunView, SGI Iris GL, X, etc ... Not all of the drivers are 100% complete, but it works pretty well. It runs under UNIX and VMS. Sources are available from calpe.psc.edu (128.182.66.148). Hopefully, someone else can help you retrieve a copy. >Jeff Donsbach, Computervision, A Prime Computer Company, Bedford, MA >UUCP: {decvax|linus|sun}!cvbnet!jdonsbac | Internet: jdonsbac@cvbnet.prime.com David Blythe Ontario Centre for Large Scale Computation University of Toronto drb@bessel.clsc.utoronto.ca
