Unlike a Tektronix or VT-240 terminal, the IBM PC/XT and DEC Professional
have no built-in graphics sequences.  Interpretation of graphics codes
is entirely dependent on whatever virtual terminal program that
you're running on the PC or PRO, or on the terminal emulation
that is provided by the operating system.

If you're running VENIX on the PC/XT or PRO, my suggestion is to
down-load your program and simply link it with the console plotting
filter provided by VENIX (-ltpc on the PC, or -ltpro on the PRO).
