Ladies and Sirs, I have one more, I am trying to generate a graphics image on the MAC II. Our aim is to do it as fast as possible. We have a CRAY X-MP/24 supercomputer available. One scheme that I believe can be implemented is to do the computation on the CRAY and then ship a data file to the MAC II via ftp and then display it there using a program which reads the data. The data, for example, could be mini-rectangles with color definitions. Thus, the computation of the coordiantes of the mini-rectangles and their colors could be done on the CRAY while we could do the display on our trusty little MAC II. What do you think of the above scheme ? Any suggestions as to what kind of data file I should write on the CRAY ? Does any software exist for the MAC II which can read x,y,color from a file and then display it ? Well, that's all I have to ask... Re. my last query, I sincerely appreciate the input y'all gave and it definitely helped a lot Thanks, really Jim

Given your distributed configuration I suggest you use one of the modern network transparent window systems (either X from MIT or NeWS from Sun) to have the Cray draw directly into a window on the Mac II. X is available in the public domain for both the Mac II and the Cray.
