[comp.windows.x] ZOIDS revisited

kochhar@endor.harvard.edu (Sandeep Kochhar) (05/18/89)

A few weeks ago, I had asked for information about the 
ZOIDS that are used in the MIT Sun sample server.  
The only responses I got were from people requesting the
same information.

So, here goes again.  Can anyone out there send me a message
about what ZOIDS are and what they do... 

At least the people who wrote the sample server must know...

I'll post a summary to the net.
Thanks.

And so should anyone who spends just a few minutes looking at the source...

It's a silly little extension, done way back for R1, to "demonstrate" the
extension mechanism, and provide both "device independent" and "device
dependent" variations.  It draws filled trapeZOIDS.  The most useful thing
you, as a general user, can do with ZOIDS is probably ignore it.
