We are trying to install GIMMS release 4.5 under CMS, and are having a
really nasty time doing it. Has anyone out there ever used, installed
GIMMS on a VM system?
Particularly, I need help in how to link the system. The real trouble
areas are the graphics interfaces. It seems that the graphics
routines are identically duplicated in two different modules,
but then, a set of routines with the same names but different
functions are in the CHAROUT module as well. Do I have to use some
sort of overlaying and use LKED instead of just LOAD and GENMOD?
As far as setting up the graphics interface, GIMMS claims to use
the most basic CALCOMP calls, but there seem to be a lot of unresolved
references in the graphics section to calls that are definitely
*not* CALCOMP routines. Does GIMMS call routines that are non-standard?
What I would really like is some help putting GIMMS up using DI-3000
as the graphics base, since we try to base our graphics around
it for device independence.
Any help, hints, or info will be greatly appreciated!
