Subject: Help!! (graphics...)
I saw your posting on anews: comp.sys.mips and since I don't seem
to be able to post any messages myself, I thought I'd send one to you
and see if you could help me.
My problem is the following: I would like to know how to do
simple graphics using a Mips M/120 (graphics display: Textronix 4014
and/or dec vt240). I have tried to use the graph command with
the plot filter (plot.3x) without getting anywhere.
I have also tried to write some simple C program and link
with the option -l4014 (as described in PLOT(3X-BXD)) but ld
complained that it didn't recognize the option.
I would appreciate if anyone could tell me if there is anyway
to do even primitive graphics using either the C or the FORTRAN
compiler on a M/120.
Please let me know if you (or somebody you know) can help. If not
I would really appreciate if you could post this on anews for me.
Thanx in advance.

Make sure you are compiling/linking in the BSD environment. /usr/lib doesn't have any lib4014.a (on my machine - M/120, RISC/os 4.01), but /usr/bsd43/usr/lib does. There's a libplotgigi.a there, too, so perhaps -lplotgigi would work (does VT240 do ReGIS?). Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu
