Subject: instructional graphics package

I have an instructional graphics package available for distribution
to anyone who wants it for non-commercial purposes. It is a set of 
C routines in the style of the ``simplified graphics package'' of
Foley and VanDam, that is, it is a segment based Core or GKS - flavor
package. It runs under Unix or MS/DOS with either
Microsoft C or Aztec C. Device drivers are relatively easy to write
(and instructive) and are provided for a DEC VT240 terminal, the
Hercules graphics card for the PC, and an Imagen laser printer. The
distribution includes VMS support also, but it has not been
exercised in the recent releases.

The principal design goals of the package were modularity and portability.
The intention is that students can get the pieces progressively revealed
to them and can be given exercises to implement existing pieces or 
add new ones. This is the thrust of an undergraduate course I have
taught for two years with the package.

A technical report and user's manual are available if you
send me a paper mail address. Ordering instructions will accompany
the report. The package is without charge except the cost of
a tape for the Unix distribution or diskette for the PC distribution.
