UNIX allows us to access the bitmap and mouse but otherwise treats the console much like a VT100. Is there any UNIX software in public domain that we can use to build graphics support on top of? We need basic graphics, and would also like to develop an window environment and visual shell. Please respond to fox%vpi@csnet-relay.arpa or bitnet address fox@vpics1. Many thanks, Ed Fox ------------------------------ 11:35:17 CDT Date: Thu, 10 Oct 85 12:03 EDT From: Henry Nussbacher Subject: Database service available for back issues of Info-Graphics This is to announce that some new services have been added to the inter-network server running at Bitnic. Certain selected Arpanet digests are now being loaded into a Spires database and are therefore searchable from anywhere as long as you can send RFC822 mail. If you are interested in using this service, send a piece of mail to: DATABASE%BITNIC.BITNET@WISCVM.ARPA or DATABASE%BITNIC.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU and have as the first 3 lines of your file (case does not matter): help help arpanet help design The server will send back to you 3 help files describing how to use the internet server, how to search Arpanet digests and how the whole thing was designed. Read over the section on "Signup" carefully before making further use of the Database server. Presently, the following 5 Arpanet forums are being loaded into the Database: Name Retention Period ============= ================ Ai-List 2 months Info-Ibmpc 2 months Info-Mac 2 months Info-Graphics 3 months Info-Nets 3 months The retention period is set for a short duration in order to see if Bitnic can handle the volume of data that needs to be stored in Spires. This service was initialized on October 4th, 1985 so currently there are just a few items available in the Database. Example of search command: FIND TEXT UNIX (IN INFO-IBMPC TABLE would find all entries in Info-Ibmpc that contain the word UNIX. An entry is just the section within a "digested" digest that makes reference to the word UNIX. For further details read over the help files.
