Thanks, Patrick Hayes Logicon We are also very interested in this sort of thing running under System V , we would like to do such things as cubic spline fitting to data points etc, BUT it is not important what graphics sytem it runs under, only that it is simple to use. It would be an advantage if the package just used system calls to do the job as that would save us buying a graphics sub-routine package like GKS or GINO-F. Thanks in advance andy Andrew Cobley.

VenturCom's VENIX System V includes graphics support for the IBM PC/XT and AT consoles (among other devices): it contains an extended set of UNIX plot(3) routines, and a plot filter. Monochrome and color graphics are supported, but not the EGA board (yet). Paul Kleppner VenturCom, Inc. {harvard,mit-eddie}!cybvax0!vcvax1!venix

We looked at all of the GKS's available and ended up going with PRIOR Data Sciences. Their GKS originated with the ISO group that first designed GKS. It is level 2c, which means it can handle input from multiple simultaneous devices (that's the 'c' part), and it is able to handle display-list segmentation on any output device (if the device is dumb, it is done in software) (and that's where the '2' is from). We picked PRIOR over GSS, Visual and the rest because: - source is available at a reasonable price (pricing is reasonable in general), so we can port to anything we want - it runs on Unix, Xenix and MS-DOS - it is fast - both smart and dumb devices are fully supported - device drivers are free - they give good support -- OOO __| ___ Peter Holzmann, Octopus Enterprises OOOOOOO___/ _______ USPS: 19611 La Mar Court, Cupertino, CA 95014 OOOOO \___/ UUCP: {hplabs!hpdsd,pyramid}!octopus!pete ___| \_____ Phone: 408/996-7746
