[comp.sys.apollo] UNIX plot program

SENGER@LAX.WISC.EDU (10/05/90)

Does the UNIX  plot program work under SR10.2 for apollo displays?
I keep getting "gm_$font_family_defn failed with status 1270036".

I filed an APR on this way back in the spring, and even got a reply later in
the summer saying it would be fixed in a future release.

I wrote a unix plot program that uses gpr a while back.  You can get it by
anonymous ftp from dabo.ifs.umich.edu, file 'aplot.c'.

/com/stcode 1270036 displays the error text 
"couldn't find directory in pathname (stream manager/IOS)".
Sounds like the "plot" program is looking for a font in
a directory that doesn't exist ... now how do you go about
finding the directory "plot" wants? Maybe use "strings" on
the executable?
