Try Kenneth Nist's GRAPHICS package for the DEC Rainbow under MS-DOS and Turbo Pascal.

Install the call in the CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICE=SETRAM.SYS and then type A>SETRAM F 100 for a 100K RAM disk or A>SETRAM F to clear it! So, the big question. Where can I get this stuff? Well, if I get enough response (more than 2), I'll post SETRAM and the other stuff sometime soon. Or, call 1-315-589-7361 (300/1200/2400 baud). You'll be connected to one of the world's largest DEC RAINBOW FIDO BBSs! 67MB of disk storage ON-LINE! (We'll not all of it is used). Tell the Sysop, Fritz, I said hello. > Paul Hsieh > 39 Pupin Lab, Columbia Univ, NYC 10025 > pfh@cuthry.bitnet > pfh%cuthry.decnet@cucond.columbia.edu All e-mails to: {allegra | seismo}!rochester!ritcv!iav1917 All flames to: !lostnode!hades!flmbckt ------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Alan I.
