Hi AVSers,

Four modules linking Mathematica with AVS have been placed on the
IAC's anonymous ftp site this morning.  Unfortunately we don't have
Mathematica here on a DEC, Sun, or Kubota platform - the ones
the modules had already been ported to.  But rather than keep the code
to ourselves, we've placed it out there for everyone to use, although
they haven't been tested here yet.

Also - the field2_from_Math module's author was incorrectly listed
when it was initially placed on the site.  The *correct* catalog
postings are:

Name        : field2_from_MathVersion      : 1.000     Mod Number : 1542
Author      : Oleg Perelet, Wolfram Research
Submitted   : 10/14/92        Last Updated : 10/14/92  Language   : C
Ported to   : Sun DEC Kubota
Description : The "field2 from Math" module allows a two-dimensional
              scalar field to be supplied to AVS. When the "field2 from
              Math" module is invoked an xterm is started running
              Mathematica with the input and output of the xterm directed
              to and from the Mathematica session main loop. Entering
              Mathematica commands into the window will result in the
              appropriate Mathematica results. The session is
              initialised with a package of Mathematica commands which
              have started a MathLink communication channel to AVS.
              Other initialisations are made so that the Mathematica
              command AVSWriteField[ data] will write a
              three-dimensional scalar field to AVS. Please note that at
              the present time the IAC does NOT have Mathematica
              installed on a DEC, Sun, or Kubota platforms. As a result
              this module was placed on the ftp site using the Makefiles
              provided by the author, without testing.

Description : The "field2 to Math" module allows a two-dimensional
              scalar field to be imported into Mathematica from AVS. When
              the "field2 to Math" module is invoked an xterm is started
              running Mathematica with the input and output of the xterm
              directed to and from the Mathematica session main loop.
              Entering Mathematica commands into the window will result
              in the appropriate Mathematica results. The session is
              initialised with a package of Mathematica commands which
              have started a MathLink communication channel to AVS.
              Other initialisations are made so that the Mathematica
              command AVSReadField[ ] will read a two-dimensional
              scalar field from AVS. Please note that at the present time
              the IAC does not have Mathematica installed on a DEC, Sun, or
              Kubota platforms. As a result this module was placed on the
              ftp site using the Makefiles provided by the author,
              without testing.

Description : The "field3 from Math" module allows a three-dimensional
              scalar field to be supplied to AVS. When the "field3 from
              Math" module is invoked an xterm is started running
              Mathematica with the input and output of the xterm directed
              to and from the Mathematica session main loop. Entering
              Mathematica commands into the window will result in the
              appropriate Mathematica results. The session is

              have started a MathLink communication channel to AVS.

Description : The "geom from Math" module allows three-dimensional
              graphics commands in Mathematica to supply AVS with an
              input geometry. When the "geom from Math" module is invoked
              an xterm is started running Mathematica with the input and
              output of the xterm directed to and from the Mathematica
              session main loop. Entering Mathematica commands into the
              window will result in the appropriate Mathematica
              results. The session is initialised with a package of
              Mathematica code which starts a MathLink communication
              channel to AVS. Other initialisations are made so the
              typical Mathematica three dimensional graphics commands
              such as Plot3D or ParametricPlot3D send their results into
              AVS rather than rendering them in the more typical
              Mathematica ways. Please note that at the present time the
              IAC does not have Mathematica installed on a DEC, Sun, or
              Kubota platform. As a result this module was placed on the
              ftp site using the Makefiles provided by the author,
              without testing.

Have fun!
