[comp.graphics] Two graphics packages in comp.sources.unix

I don't read this newsgroup, so I apologize if this is old news to
you-all.

In the past week two graphics packages appeared in comp.sources.unix:
	GL Graphics Library for AT-clone Unix (7 parts)
	Volume 18, Issue 59-65
	    The "gl" collection of routines provides graphic device
	    support for a number of video adapters and printers for PC/AT
	    class computers running under Microport System V/AT, Xenix or
	    MS-DOS.    The routines emulate the BSD plot(3) library, as
	    well as provide new routines.  It runs under MSDOS/ System
	    V/AT, SCO Xenix 286, and with Hercules, CGA, EGA, and Epson
	    printer devices.

	MTV ray-tracing package (3 parts)
	Volume 18, Issue 70-72
	    This represents the second formal release of the MTV
	    Raytracer.  Feel free to use it for any purpose, I am
	    releasing it into the public domain.  The input format to this
	    ray tracer is called "NFF" or Neutral File Format, which was
	    invented by Eric Haines' for his Standard Procedural
	    Database.  The SPD was designed to allow programmers to test
	    their raytracers on databases of varying sizes.  While not the
	    end-all to object file formats, it has served me well.  If you
	    wish to change the input file to something else, you probably
	    only need to change the parser in "parse.y", not any of the
	    other code.

Enjoy.
