I am looking for a source of information, preferably machine readable, on the ANSI standard Computer Graphics MEtafile. This is ANS X3.122-1986. It, alone among X3.86-X3.130, appears to be stolen from our library :-((((( NCSA appears to have it on order but... Any pointers would be welcome. (not on where to get it -to get information before it arrives) Doug McDonald (mcdonald@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu)

I sincerely doubt anyone has typed the whole shebang in just for the heck of it, and anyway it would violate their copyright (as would the document editor making his troff source available via anonymous ftp - so don't ask! ;@) If, on the other hand, you're looking for an answer to a specific question to get you going until your replacement copy arrives, there are folks like me on the net who could probably help you out.
