[comp.sys.sgi] NCAR Graphics

davis@MASIG1.OCEAN.FSU.EDU (Alan Davis) (09/07/88)

                 
	I have recently read the request for information regarding the NCAR
graphics package availability for the IRIS 2400.  I have a similar request
for information for the IRIS 3000 series machines.  I am particularly
interested in the Version 2 UNIX implementation.  Over the course of the
summer I have probably spent 2 weeks modifing the code to compile on the
Silicon Valley Fortran compiler (a constant source of agravation).  Still
unable to get all the programs to run correctly even though they pass the
test routines.
	Thanks in advance for any help.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has experience with using 
NCAR Graphics on SGI hardware, especially on the Personal Iris.  This 
is the GKS-based NCAR Graphics, not the old System Plot Package.
I'm having a problem with the installation which I suspect has a fairly
simple answer.  (Yes, I've called NCAR but their turnaround for inquiries
is very slow.)

My larger goal is to set up an informal user's group for NCAR Graphics on
SGI.  So, I will send each respondent a list of the names and e-mail 
addresses of the other respondents (perhaps with a line or two describing
type of machine or specific applications, etc).  The "default" will be to
have your name included in the user list.  IF YOU RESPOND TO THIS POST,
BUT DON'T WANT YOUR NAME ON THE LIST, PLEASE SAY SO.
