Until I get X-windows, I'd like to use the Unix "plot" command for some low-level graphics. However, when I try to do a "plot -Tapollo.15.color" (or any other display description), it dies saying something about font initialization failing. When I do a plot -T4014 logged in from a remote Tektronix emulator, everything works fine. I'm running 10.1 on an Apollo DN10000. Also, under BSD4.3 is there any way to create a tektronix window for telnet (say, when I'm logging into a Cray somewhere?). Alternately, is there any way to display a tek command file in a window as graphics? Can the GPR calls be used without installing a full Aegis environment? When I try compiling the Fortran sample programs, the compile fails because it can't find the needed include files in /sys/ins (I don't even seem to have a /sys/ins directory). .

Regarding your problem with fonts, we had the same problem using plot (I presume you have 10.1). We found out there was a bug somewhere and the plot needs some Sys V stuff and I only had BSD. So the trick was to make sure the link sys5 and sys5.3 is o.k. and go into sys5 and link etc and usr to the bsd etc and user. Then plot worked o.k.

Yeh, use xterm with the X Window System...But for this you need one of the following: Domain/X11 Version 1.1.p (only for 8-plane DN10000 graphics) SR10.2.p (not shipping quite yet, but provides bundled X good for 8-, 40-, and 80-plane displays) > Can the GPR calls be used without installing a full Aegis environment? Yes, they can. >When I try compiling the Fortran sample programs, the compile fails because >it can't find the needed include files in /sys/ins (I don't even seem >to have a /sys/ins directory). Right, you have to install Aegis to get the /sys/ins stuff. (yes, yes, we know.....) If you install bsd or SysV you get /usr/apollo/include/gpr.h among other things. This is useful if you're a C hacker. /oj
