[ stuff about porting AVS to SGI deleted ] Before you spend too much time thinking about how to port AVS, you may want to call Stardent (actually, the Stellar half of Stardent) and ask them how they are progressing in their efforts to port it. Last time I talked to the guys at Stardent (last week), they had purchased an Iris and had a version of AVS running (albeit "like a pig") on it. I have no details about which Iris it is but they were working on making run faster. I think they ported Dore to the Iris which was relatively easy, and then ported AVS on top of Dore. So you have AVS --> Dore --> GL. Not to mention X Windows. No wonder its a bit slow. -- ..ahead, warp factor...two + * + * + * - - - - -------======<<<<<{{{{{{[[[[[[ TONY FACCA fsfacca@avelon.lerc.nasa.gov + + * * * "Its hard to work in groups -- especially when you're omnipotent" --Q
