[comp.os.vms] New mailing list for Template users

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.
