We have a 4d/25 on loan for a few weeks. One of the demos, called 'Insect' does some things like what we'd need to do. Does anyone know if this, or some similar program (simulating jointed legs in motion), is in the public domain? Also, can someone give me the 800 number for sgi's software support -- the people to call with questions about gl? Thanks. - Paul Shannon pts@virginia.edu

SGI sells two tapes of demo source, one for 3130 and earlier, and the other for 4D's. I think you have to sign some nondisclosure statement or something. I can't find the exact information at the moment, but your sales rep. should have the information or know how to get it. -- Brent L.

I do not believe the SGI source is available. I'm sure someone else will confirm that. You may want to rummage in the 4Dgifts directory for other sources that will provide similar examples.

SGI publishes a "Software Exchange Catalog" which includes source code for many of the standard demos, including Insect. There is a charge for the tape and postage/handling ($100).

This is the place for Technical Support of SGI products. You will need either an appropriate Service Contract with us, or a P.O. for our time. If you intend on using the service regularly, you should see about getting a contract. Just call the Geometry Hotline and ask for Contracts Administration. Sorry if this sounds like an Ad, but it's hard to answer this sort of question without giving certain sorts of info. Hope that helps, chris D.
