Are there any subroutine packages available for doing high-level graphics
from a FORTRAN program on the Mac?  We use Media Cybernetics' Halo '88 on
the PC, but would like to get some of our graphics-based programs ported to
the Mac.  Even if this requires a Mac II, we'd be interested, I'm not too
thrilled with the prospect of having to learn toolbox just to plot some
graphs.  Anything along the lines of GKS or Plot-10 or DI-3000, you know,
2d (3d would be nice, but isn't required - yet) world coordinates, NDCs, etc.

Also, it would be nice to put a Macintosh front-end on these PC applications,
is there some kind of "shell" program that someone has written that takes
care of the stuff needed to support DAs, pull-down menus, etc.  For some
reason, I think I've heard of something like "MacFace" which might do this,
but I don't have a vendor name.
