From article <9004021438.AA13718@tcgould.TN.CORNELL.EDU>, by A4424DAA@AWIUNI11.BITNET (Walter Muellner): > We have modified the AFserver to AFGserver. It now supports all of > the PC's graphics functions at a high level (including filled polygons, > circles, ellipses, etc.). Is this done synch or asynch? What I mean is when you throw a fill-polly at the server, is the transputer process suspended until the job is completed or do you immediately return to allow the transputer process to continue working until it again needs the server. This should not be a problem; should two consequtive server requests occur, the first will commence and the 2nd will be serviced immediately after, having been suspended in the link. I *do* realize that this may pose a problem when trying to examine return status info, but keep it in mind for void or don't-care functions. Have you considered modifying any other servers, such as the one that comes with Logical Systems C compiler. I had exactly this scheme in mind last year, but ran out of time during my thesis (plus PC interfacing had nothing to do with my project :-) ) > For anyone interested, please contact me directly. Are you planning to release this in the PD?
