People wanting to use the HP plotter in 336 have priority on the terminal that the plotter is attached to. It's quite all right to use that terminal for non-plotter work, or for statistical work in preparation for plotting, *IF* nobody wants to use the plotter at the moment. The plotter terminal is not special in any way except for having the plotter attached; anything else, including statistical work using S, can be done on any other terminal. (In fact, the plotter terminal is a good deal slower than our other public terminals.) But the only way to use the plotter is from that terminal, so plotter users must be given priority. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
