The main reason that WGL will not run under RMB-UX is that WGL uses 
a lot of code in compiled subroutines (CSUBS). This is not portable
to RMB-UX.

The Display Compatability card will run (I think) with hp-ux but not
with X-Windows.

Much of what WGL does can be duplicated in BASIC with simple subs.
For example:

	10 SUB Ramp(Workingwave(*),Wstart,Wstop)
	20    Stepsize=2/(Wstop-Wstart+1)
	30    Stepval=-1
	40    FOR I=Wstart to Wstop
	50       Workingwave(I)=Stepval
	60       Stepval=Stepval+Stepsize
	70    NEXT I
	80 SUBEND

I have heard that someone had performed just about all of the WGL 
functions with Mathmatica.
