I would suggest contacting your SGI rep or SGI in CA.  The code I have
(executable only) was here when I started (11/88).  We have it for the
3130.  As for the 4D, I am under the impression that these models will
not be put on the 4D at all.  I think that SGI is looking for realism in
the simulator (any SGI comments on that). As far as getting the executable,
try contacting your local SGI rep or SGI in Moutain View, CA.  Your
rep will probably be able to do more though, I don't think that SGI engineers
will want to be bothered.

Yeah, you can record paths with the -o.  You may already have it on the system.
It was called 'sdog', for superdog, on ours.  I recently talked with
one of the developers from SGI about the images and new models, he said
that he has a problem getting good data (image) for the planes.
