The university I teach at (not U of Toronto) is considering buying
a Unix system for teaching & applied research.  One of the areas of
interest for both is graphics.  I would appreciate any info on the
graphics that runs at your site.  We are in particular looking at
a Vax 11/780, with the possibility of VT241s (colour REGIS terminals)
and/or the DEC graphics processor ?VS11?  We have a severely limited
budget, but I am still interested if you have esoteric hardware.
	1) What applications are you doing?
	2) Are you using available software, or locally written?
	3) Do available packages support REGIS protocols?
	4) Is REGIS a reasonable way to go?
Please respond by mail.  I will summarize to the net if there is sufficient
interest.  Thanks.
