AIX Version 2.2.1 which will ship in a few days defines Fortran bindings for X11. Since I know of no cooperative effort through the Consortium it is highly probably that the bindings of the different manufacturers will differ in at least a few details. Perhaps this should be a subject of discussion at the January X conference.

Are there any Fortran bindings for X11 (PD or commercial)? If not, how do Fortran people generally access X11 functionality? By writing C routines and linking them in? By using a higher-level package that does the X calling? By using a separate process to do the graphics and communicating to it over an I/O channel/socket/stream/pipe/whatever? By giving up entirely and poring over big tables of numbers? Please respond to me directly at garyo@think.com, as I cannot keep up with all of the volume in this newsgroup any more (though I still try...) - Gary Oberbrunner Thinking Machines Corporation 245 First St Cambridge, MA 02142 garyo@think.com
