  Is anyone aware of a general-purpose graphics software package that will
run under UNIX 4.1bsd on a VAX 11/750 or 11/780?  We would prefer something
device-independent and written in C if we can get it.  We will mainly be
generating geographical maps and plotting customized symbols upon them, but
we will also need to produce standard and custom 2-D plots and charts.
These graphics will be displayed on an as yet unprocured color graphics
terminal and color line printer.  Any info on software and particularly the
existence out there of a complete system similar to this would be greatly
appreciated.  Thank you.
