NED@YMIR.BITNET (Ned Freed) (04/16/87)
I am starting a new mailing list for persons interested in the Template graphics package (information on Template appears below for those who are unfamiliar with it). This list will be for the exchange of tips, advice, bug reports, enhancements and useful Template software. The emphasis will probably be on the use of Template under VMS, although material about Template running on other systems is welcome. The addresses for the mailing list are: itpl@ymir.bitnet Submissions to the list. rtpl@ymir.bitnet Requests for list additions/deletions. qtpl@ymir.bitnet Questions about the list. As soon as the list is well underway I will be posting definition files for the use of Template routines from VAX Pascal and VAX Ada, along with a few other Template goodies. Template is a proprietary product of Megatek Corporation. However, this mailing list is maintained by and for Template users and NOT by Megatek (although Megatek has approved of and does subscribe to the list). Finally, here is some background information on Template: Template is a general-purpose device-independent and computer-independent vector graphics package. It follows the 3-D CORE standard pretty closely, but also contains many extensions, especially in the areas of high level scientific and business graphics. Template runs on about 150 different output devices (last time I counted) and on many different computer systems, notably VMS and almost all flavors of UNIX. Ned Freed ned@ymir.bitnet
