I am looking for references on the ANSI standard "CGM" (Computer Graphics Markup or something), which is the only ANSI standard for computer graphics. The only manual I've been able to find is the actual ANSI reference manuals on it, and I'll be damned if I'm going to sit through all 28 lbs or so of them to get a brief overview... I am also interested in finding out more about how the word processing system XYVision spits out CGM files. Any info pointing to sources for CGM reference manuals or quick reference jobbies would be muchly appreciated. Please Email to: ftrue@jarthur.UUCP or ftrue@hmcvax.BITNET ______________________________________________________________ Frederick True Harvey Mudd College --------------------------------------------------------------
