I have two questions:

Is there any detailed documentation on downloading and executing
programs in a BBN BitGraph terminal?  We have the programmer's manuals
here, but they don't go into enough detail about Motorola's 68000
s-lines (EXERCISOR records) format.  We have the 68000 tools necessary
to compile C source, but are lost after that.  I think I have a program
that takes 68000 object code and converts it to this special format,
but when I try to download it, it doesn't work.  (I realize that the
BitGraph was discontinued by BBN long ago, but it is the only
bit-mapped display terminals that we have here besides SUN's, which I
don't have access to.)

Are there any any "inexpensive" bit-mapped display terminals with a
mouse around?  They don't have to have the power of a 68000 inside
them, just a nice screen and a mouse.  Any pointers would be appreciated.

Please reply via mail, as I have irregular news reading habits.  Thanks.
