The software you need exists and is called "Starbase Driver Development
Guide" (SDDG).  Look in the directory /usr/lib/starbase/sddg.  There you
will find some of the files you need.  The other files (Starbase driver
template files written in C) you buy from HP.  You may even get them for
free (?).

We used SDDG to write Starbase drivers on our 9000/540 for Tek 401x, GraphOn
250 and Pericom graphics terminals.  With SDDG you can easily write Starbase
drivers for *any* graphics output/input device.
