I have a termcap and an S driver for the Graphos 3 color terminal
developed by Ithaca Intersystems, Inc.  I would be interested in
sharing tidbits with anyone else who has a similar device.

Basically Graphos 3 implements GKS-standard in 128 commands.
Its resolution is 640x384 or 640x480, depending on hardware switch.
16 colors per window, 16 windows (actually "views") at a time on the
screen, and 32 pages to choose from.  It has viewports, segments,
and all those other goodies, but no hardware 3-D.  It also emulates
a tek10, tho the character set is not the right size.

I am interested in statistical applications, and would like to do
2-D, 3-D, and higher -D graphics.  S allows me to do 2-D plotting
with different colors for different lines, and has some 3-D.
My S driver is rather primitive, tho I can have about 10 pages
of graphs to look at at any one time.
