In the comp.graphics newsgroup I found as a part of the 'Frequently asked questions - READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST' article the following lines: > Khoros, a huge (~100 meg) graphical development environment based on > X11R4. Khoros components include a visual programming language, code > generators for extending the visual language and adding new application > packages to the system, an interactive user interface editor, an > interactive image display package, an extensive library of image and > signal processing routines, and 2D/3D plotting packages. Available via > FTP as pprg.unm.edu:pub/khoros/*. I would like to get answered the following questions: First some informations about our working environment: VAX 8550 VMS 5.4 (server) Several types of VAXStations in a cluster (client) DECWindows 1) Is it possible to run Khoros with DECWindows? (As far as I know DECWindows is currently based on X11R3 and Khoros needs X11R4.) Is a VMS (or X11R3) version of Khoros available? 2) I am mainly looking for a graphical library with a procedural interface (not only a stand alone package with an interpreter shell). Is Khoros that I am looking for? If not, are there any suggestions for other modern graphical libraries available for DECWindows (please do not recommend GKS). I imagine a kind of graphical output as it is done by Mathematica. 3) Next problem: IF ( 1)=yes OR 2)=yes ) THEN I can't FTP. Where can I get Khoros via email? Where can I get manuals or some more detailed descriptions about the features of Khoros.
