HELP WANTED DEPARTMENT:
     *  At UniFORUM in January, there was a talk by Christos Tountas from 
	Graphics Information Systems Tech. Inc. about DAPS and GSDL: A 
	procedural approach to Graphics...  Anyone with information on this
	talk please contact Ralph Shaw, (ras@rayssd.UUCP)
     *  Randolph Fritz (rf@wu1.UUCP) would like some pointers to graphics
	image compression techniques.
     *  Request for suggestions on computer aids for creating slides:
	1) Are we better off putting money into a nice piece of hardware to
	   tie to our existing VAX/VMS systems, or should we be looking at
	   standalone, complete packages.
	2) What nice pieces of hardware/software do folk
	   have experience with?  Any recommendations/warnings?
	3) Hardcopy?
	Contact Mark Johnson (markj@alberta.UUCP) if you can help.
     *  Shang Chyou (shangc@azure) is interested in pointers on curve 
	fitting algorithms
     *  MR Saltzman (mrs@pyuxnn.UUCP) needs a TERMCAP entry for the Tektronix
	4105 in "native mode" (not vt100 or vt52 emulation mode).
     *  Questions from Vidar Sorensenon (vidar@kvvax4.UUCP) UNIX System 
	III graphics package, particularly with respect to bug fixes, and 
	on using a HP7475 color plotter for output.
     *  Does anyone out there have experience with Intelligent Systems Co.'s
	VHR19 Color Graphics Terminal? Also, any experience with ISC's other
	products and/or services would be appreciated.  If so, contact
	Riedar Bornholdt (reidar@cucard.UUCP)
