[comp.sys.sgi] producing graphics on one Iris produced by another

raymond@cavebear.berkeley.edu (Raymond Yee) (05/30/91)

I have access to two Personal Irises.  The problem is that the one with
a console that is more accessible to me does not have any compilers.  So
what I have been doing is compiling my programs on one machine and then
ftping to other to run.

My question:  is it possible to run the program on one machine and have
graphics come out on the console of the other Iris?

I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Try looking at the dgl (distributed graphics library).
You can run the program on a remote machine and have the graphics
displayed on the current machine (or any machine for that matter).
