Does anyone have or know of a driver for the Calcomp 1012 and Calcomp 960 plotters for use with GKS from GTS-GRAL? A driver from another closely related Calcomp plotter might be useful. Thanks in advance, John

I don't think there is one, as no one I know is insane enought to write one. A Calcomp (at least the one I used) can't go "to THERE"; it can only go "from HERE to THIS-FAR-FROM-HERE". You might try a GSS-CGI driver, if you can find one; the are usually upward compatable with the GKS/GSS-VDI stuff, at least on the FORTUNE, PC, and now Xenix. PS: You may think GSS-CGI stands for _Graphics_Systems_Specialists_Computer_Graphics_Interface_ But it really means _Generally_Silly_Standard_Consistant_Graphics_Impossible_ Things are scaled for output size, NOT virtually for absoulute output unit size... I mean, really! Can you say 1 cm? CGI can't... I admit the deed! Tear up the raised floor!
