Here at SwRI I have implemented the GKS version of the NCAR
package on an HP9000 model 520 and on a Convex C1.  This was
using an early, crippled release of the package with the
gut level GKS that NCAR provided.  The NCAR people unreleased
the version I had right after I got it, about 2 years ago (can
it really have been that long?).  Anyway, we are about to get
the present release with a commercial GKS, and I will get to
repeat the process.  I can't wait to see what kinds of bugs
are in the new release.  (Not to flame NCAR really, they do
good work there.)

Soooo... here is one person that has installed the package.
