The last time we spoke, the terms were a licence fee of 100 pounds (payable in sterling) for a copy of the distribution tape (I believe that this is imposed by N. Wirth, rather than Cambridge). The distribution system includes a *MUCH* improved I/O library and an implementation of GKS draft 7.0. Be aware that the code produced is far from optimal, but that it does seem to work, and there are people at Cambridge using it for extensive development and research. The person to get in touch with is Mick Jordan University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory Corn Exchange Street Cambridge CB2 3QG England Tel: +44 223 352435 You might try sending him mail at 'mjj%camjenny%caga%ucl-cs@Isid.arpa', but things have been a little unreliable of late (besides, CSNET seems to have hiccups over the '%' signs). Mick is also busy writing a version for the PERQ running UNIX, has a well optimised one for the GEC-4090, and has a prototype version for the 68000, although that is a little shaky. john wilkes wilkes@hp-labs (csnet) hplabs!wilkes (uucp) wilkes.hp-labs@rand-relay (arpa)
