Ladies and Sirs,

I have one more, I am trying to generate a graphics image on the
MAC II. Our aim is to do it as fast as possible. We have a CRAY 
X-MP/24 supercomputer available. One scheme that I believe can be implemented
is to do the computation on the CRAY and then ship a data file to the
MAC II via ftp and then display it there using a program which reads the data. 
The data, for example,  could be mini-rectangles with color definitions.
Thus, the computation of the coordiantes of the mini-rectangles and
their colors could be done on the CRAY while we could do the display
on our trusty little MAC II. 
What do you think of the above scheme ? Any suggestions as to what kind
of data file I should write on the CRAY ?
Does any software exist for the MAC II which can read x,y,color from
a file and then display it ?
Well, that's all I have to ask...
Re. my last query, I sincerely appreciate the input y'all gave
and it definitely helped a lot
Thanks, really
Jim
