[comp.os.vms] Vax GKS enquiry

SUPPORT@leva.icf.leeds.ac.UK.UUCP (04/14/87)

Dear All,
 
I'd like to know if anyone is running DEC's implementation of
the Graphics Kernel System (Vax GKS V2.0).  We have been using this
software for several months now.  A few bugs have been encountered
but the implementation appears to be sound in most respects.
 
An area of common interest is (inevitably) the development of
device drivers for graphics terminals or plotters not supported
by DEC.  Does anyone have or plan to implement drivers?  I'm
particularly interested in knowing if anyone has a driver for
Tektronix 4010 or 4100 series terminals.
 
Regards,
Ted Allwood

Please consider this note as just a smile, a 'hello', and a wave
of the hand.

We are running GKS, but not doing much with it.  We have two old
HP 7221A plotters, several HP 7475A's, and some DEC GIGI's.  With
luck, I won't have to write a 7221 device driver for GKS, since
they will wither away in a year and a half.

We'll put your name in our list of sources of info about GKS.

Thanks.
