This is the initial directory for anonymous FTP at the Intense Pulsed
Neutron Source at Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, IL.  Argonne is
operated by the University of Chicago for the United States Department of 
Energy.  

There are currently no load or time restrictions on anonymous FTP ses-
sions. This may change in the future if conditions warrant it.

Contents:
====================================================================
[anonymous.gplot_src]
Fortran source code for the GPLOT graphics subroutine library for VAX-VMS 
and ALPHA-VMS.  (The code is the same for both).  If you want the source code,
copy the files *.for and *.inc to directory [gplot.src] on your local system 
and define the logical GPLOT_SRC as dev:[GPLOT.SRC].  Even without the 
source code, you will need the file GDINIT.DAT.  GDINIT.DAT is used to produce 
a menu of graphics devices.
====================================================================
[anonymous.gplot_alpha]
Executables, object modules, linker options file, and the object library for
GPLOT on VAX-VMS.  Copy these files to dev:[GPLOT] on your local system,
define the logical GPLOT_DIR as dev:[GPLOT], then include 

	GPLOT_DIR:GPLOT/OPT

in your link statement.  This will include GKS routines as well as GPLOT 
routines.  This directory also contains files used by EDIT_GMENU to 
select workstation types when defining new plot devices.
====================================================================
[anonymous.gplot_examples]
Example routines to test GPLOT features.  Compile, link and run these
routines on your local system to test GPLOT.  Two of the examples have
a problem with DEC GKS 5.3 for Alpha-VMS.  GPE6.FOR aborts when plotted
to a TK4014 device.  GPE13.FOR has the curves shifted from the correct 
position.  You can edit TESTGPLOT.COM to specify local print queues
and submit this as a batch job to produce all gplot example plots.
Before doing this, you must run EDIT_GMENU to define your local print
queues.  Another problem with the Alpha version is that GKS Metafiles
are incomplete.
====================================================================
[anonymous.gplot_vax]
Executables, object modules, linker options file, and the object library for
GPLOT on VAX-VMS.  Copy these files to dev:[GPLOT] on your local system,
define the logical GPLOT_DIR as dev:[GPLOT], then include 

	GPLOT_DIR:GPLOT/OPT

in your link statement.  This will include GKS routines as well as GPLOT 
routines.
====================================================================
[anonymous.gplot_ultrix]
Source code for an Ultrix version of GPLOT.  GPLOT has been ported to 
Ultrix, but some features such as device menuing do not work.  The 
routines in this directory are the same as those in [.gplot_src] except 
that they have been modified for Ultrix include files, etc.
====================================================================
[anonymous.gplot_doc]
Documentation and help files for GPLOT.
====================================================================
[anonymous.modify_alpha]
MODIFY is a search and replace program for VMS which has been available
for some time on the VAX and was part of the VMS startup set.  The version
here has been changed to be Alpha compatible.  By recompiling and relinking,
this version could also be used on the VAX.  The MODIFY command is normally
added to DCLtables, but it could be used temporarily by issuing the command:

	$ SET COMMAND devdir:MODIFY

There are ASCII and Postscript versions of the user manual.
