I am looking for graphics software/packages for the DEC Rainbow, both public 
domain and commercial packages, to support a wide variety of faculty projects 
here at RIT.  Of particular interest would be animation software, presentation
graphics packages, plotting packages and MacPaint-like software. 
The users of this software may be relative computing novices so ease of use is
a concern (so is cost!).  

So far, the graphics software I've seen for the Rainbow has been way below par
(even for a micro) and did not take advantage of the graphics chip set in the
Rainbow. 

Thanks for your help.	Gordon Goodman
