From: Wax.OsbuSouth@Xerox.ARPA


I being a dumb user on ARPANet do not know where net.sources is located.
I know about FTPing to ISIB and similiar places but do not know where
net.sourcesis located or how to get to it.  Any help from you would be
appreciated since I have written my own program for the IBM-PC that does
a presumably similiar job.

From: MHARRIS@BBNA.ARPA

I am trying to correspond with "LMiller @ ISI-Hobgoblin" re this list,
but the mailer sez "Addressee Unknown".  LMiller, if you're out there,
please phone, write, or send your USPO address.  Thanks.

I am sending this to Info-Graphics because my mail system will not let
me send to turtlevax!ken@DECWRL.ARPA.

I noticed your message in Info-Graphics.  Since I cannot locate
net.sources myself but I can get at [ISIB]mumble via FTP and
other similar sources, would it be possible to send me an exact address
(eg. ISIB...) so that I could fetch the appropriate
software (hopefully in C).

Decvax!mcnc!unccvax!dsi@Berkeley  (Dataspan Inc) replys with a discussion on
why it is difficult to overlay IBM graphics on VCR video.  This quite true
because the IBM PC cannot GENLOC to external video like DEC's IVIS. If
you really want to keep that IBM PC but want overlay ability then the cheap and
easy thing to do is dump the IBM graphic boards and buy some boards that can
GENLOC to external video sync.  The computer based training industry use
graphics overlay systems with videodisc players for interactive video systems.
This market has sparked a number of startup companies to manufacture
inexpensive genloc-overlay boards for a number of PCs.

Has anyone heard of the Heiroglyph product from Prescience, Inc.  If so I'd
appreciate hearing comments about the software and a lead to the location
and telephone number of Prescience.  Apparently its a graphics workstation
package for the Sun supporting GKS and Postscript.

Thanks

Subject: Administrivia

In the past week or two, there have been several complaints about
USENET "net.graphics" mail being dumped into the Info-Graphics digest.
I believe I have tracked down the source of this problem.  (It appears
that there was an inappropriate mail forwarding address somewhere at
UC Berkeley).  By the time you read this, they should have solved their
mailer problems.

Info-Graphics readers are reminded that this Digest runs fully
automated.  There is no digest moderator scanning and editing the
articles you submit.  This has the disadvantage that problems like the
mail forwarding bug we have been suffering from can occur.  But it also
offers the advantage of ensuring that the list is delivered faithfully
each weekend even if I happen to be away for several weeks, as was the
case for most of September (astute Info-Graphics readers will recall
that I announced this absence in the Digest a month ago).

Your comments on the operation of the list and ways it can be
improved are always welcome.  Please remember to send them to the
"-REQUEST" address where I will personally receive them, not to
"Info-Graphics" (from which address they will be automatically
remailed without my seeing them first).
