Does anyone have a good Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) program for the
UNIX PC.  Seems like the raster display would have a good medium for
this.  Can you give me the company that sells this and how much?

Now the UNIX PC comes with the Virtual Device Driver by GSS, which
gives you the capability to hook up plotters and graphics printers
to the UNIX PC.

With the Development Set you get the "C-Binding" (/usr/lib/libcvdi.a)
to make programs that use this.  Unfortunately the 3.5 development
set has a old copy of the GSS archive (5.0 archive) and the new
"ar" command will not read those old archives, I will have to get
the "ar" command from the old 3.0 disks to read it, and re-archive
it with the new one.  Why they changed formats is beyond me.

Has anyone had experience programming the UNIX PC with the GSS library?
Is it a full GKS implementation?  Any public domain programs writing
to show off the raster graphics?  Please e-mail them to me or post them?


						Thanks in advance,
						Lenny.
