The ISIS V1.3 TAR image can now be copied by any of you who would like to switch to it. I compiled and checked it out on the SUN 3 and 4, MIPS machine, HPUX system, and on a VAX. I haven't had time to fix the problem with "fork" hanging on Apollo UNIX systems yet. Hopefully, sometime later this week. Unfortunately, to get this to compile on the MIPS, VAX and HP systems I had to make some changes that temporarily broke the gcc type signatures Robert just introduced. It turns out that the C compilers on these systems get sick when function arguments of type void * are referenced or cast. This should also be corrected by sometime next week.

Will things translate "cleanly" from the MIPS port making this trivial?

NASA has been running ISIS on DEC3100 systems for a few months, as has the Cornell Graphics Laboratory. As of today, I expect to make ISISV1.3 available again starting early next week. We fixed the HP problem and have the system compiling again under gcc. Right now, we are testing it out on everything we can and fixing the Apollo UNIX problem. Ken
