Our problem is that we have a Tektronix 4211 colour terminal, and 4696 colour printer, which we have been driving from SAS/GRAPH on a VAX running VMS. (We don't drive the printer directly, we dump the screen plots from the terminal.) We are about to lose the VAX and depend totally on networked SUNs. We require a method of driving the 4211 from a SUN, again using the SAS stats package, and possibly also the PD graph package grtool. At the moment we are using Sunview under OS 4.0.3 and 3.5, but hope to upgrade two of our machines to SPARCs in the near future, and run OS 4.1 Does anybody out there have any experience of having done this or something similar, or any suggestions as to how it can be done sensibly and cheaply? In particular any relevant PD software would be most welcome. If readers would like to mail me direct, I will summarise for the net. (Apologies if this has been discussed before: the precise information we need does not seem to be in our recent Spots archives at least.) Peter Mellor, | E-mail: p.mellor@uk.ac.city (JANET) |
