We are very interested in connecting two iris's together for a real time computer generated imagery system. The level of information to be shared is on the same order as that when the demo program "arena" is run on the network. Does anyone have source code available for "arena" that we can have to experiment with. Thanks in advance ... Gerry

Gerry The Customer Support Center refers the curious to Marketing where for a nominal fee of $100 plus a signed non-disclosure agreement, you can get a tape contain- ing the source for all the common demos and some neat Public Domain application programs. There are four different tapes; 2000/3000 series, 4D/G series, 4D/GT and GTX Series, and the Personal IRIS series. Here is a run down of what each tape includes: 2000/3000: SGI Demo source Princeton Toolkit (ICGLtools) ICARE {Interactive Computer Aided RGB Editor} Lemming Editor {a PIC image editor, not for small furry rodents} Naval Postgraduate School S/W {5 sample applications for simulators} Twixt {3D animation constructor}{ 4D machines: {all series have same programs, just ported to that platform} SGI Demo source Princeton Toolkit (ICGLtools) Lemming Editor Oper {unix job control applications for batch processing} Chemistry Software {semi-empirical molecular orbital package} NCSA Height-Color Visualzer {bi-variate data viewer} Twixt TeX {typesetting system} To order one of these tapes, send a check (include sales tax if you are a resident of AL, AZ, CA,CO, CT, FL, GA, IL, MD, MI, MN, MO, NJ, NM, NC, OH, PA, TX, VA, or WA), a list of all workstations and their serial numbers you wish to run the software on, your desired package and a return address, name, and telephone number to: Silicon Graphics, Inc. User Services Mailstop 9L-415 2011 N. Shoreline Blvd. Mountian View, CA 94087-7311 The preceding information was taken from the IRIS software exchange, Number 2 dated December 1989. This is the only information I have on these particular items, and I have no idea how current this information is. None of these packages will be able to be supported by the Customer Support Center, and most of the $100 goes towards tapes and shipping costs I am sure. -- "Mister! Hey mister!
