This server provides several services for readers of "Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice", 2nd edition by Foley, van Dam, Feiner, and Hughes (Addison-Wesley, 1990) ISBN 0-201-12110-7 There are several distinct "services" you can obtain from this server, each identified by a unique keyword. To obtain the service, mail a message to graphtext@cs.brown.edu containing the keyword (and only the keyword) in the "Subject:" line. Only one service can be obtained per message. Here are the services currently available, with the appropriate "Subject:" lines shown: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Help The server sends you this helpful message in response. If the server program seems to be broken somehow, send mail to Dave Sklar (dfs@cs.brown.edu) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Get-Text-Bug-List Use this service to obtain a list of known "bugs" in the text. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Report-Text-Bug Use this service to report a bug in the text. The body of your message should give the page and line number of the bug, and if possible, indicate the necessary correction to be made. Please check the "text-bug-list" before submitting a bug report so you don't submit a duplicate bug report. Please don't submit a bug report unless you are sure that there is a bug in the text; this service is not for raising questions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Get-Text-Algorithms Use this service to get instructions on how to obtain electronic copies of many of the major algorithms (all in Pascal) presented in the textbook. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Software-Distribution Use this service to get instructions on how to obtain SRGP and SPHIGS, the software packages described in chapters 2 and 7. These include information on all three versions: 1) UNIX/X11 (available via ftp) 2) Macintosh (available via ftp, except Pascal via floppy) 3) IBM-PC and compatibles (available via floppy) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Get-Software-Bug-List Use this service to obtain a list of known "bugs" in SRGP/SPHIGS. This list does not include omissions and bugs that are documented in the SRGP/SPHIGS reference manuals. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Report-Software-Bug Use this service to report a bug in the software or in the doc associated with the software. If you can present a code fragment that isolates the bug, all the better. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- At a later date, we will support services for the sharing of exercises produced by instructors using the text, and for the submission of suggestions for improvement of the text in later revisions. -- Ethan A.
