Yeah, it really pisses me off, because they didn't provide a replacement. Can I get AT&T to "dedicate" the old source code for these to the public, i.e. place it into the public domain? Several of us have cleaned it up quite a bit, and if AT&T doesn't want it maybe we could distribute the improved version to those who do. An alternative would be to make "nplot" available. GKS is a grotesque joke. The BRL CAD folks seem to have produced an independent upward-compatible extended "UNIX plot" library with my color and 3-D additions previously provided in the BRL UNIX System V emulation plus some new IEEE floating point support.
