This is in response to Paul Mitchell's question about whether GFX
will run with CSTools. It is specific to Meiko systems.

Yes, as I understand it, GFX is supposed to be usable with CSTools.

We have an MK015 graphics board with a T414 plus 30K Mitsubishi monitor.
I asked Meiko how to go about using CSTools in conjunction with GFX at
the beginning of July. Three tapes, many phone calls and almost two months
later it appears that there is a bug in the MK015 GFX software.
Meiko plan to fix this but it is a low priority task so we'll have to wait
for some indeterminate time. Meanwhile it looks like I've now got to
teach my interested user Occam and OPS, something I was rather hoping to
avoid. Needless to say my user is a bit fed up, especially at having been
kept hanging around for two months. 

I think we basically ran into trouble because we are using a relatively
old (or unusual) setup which Meiko hadn't tested the software on. You
will probably have more luck with an MK052. Contact Meiko.
