I recently purchased a UNIX PC and have some questions related
to the graphics field.

 1) Is GSS the only graphics development package available?

 2) I want to output graphics produced by GSS on a large hardcopy
    device which connect to a minicomputer UNIX. The Virtual Device
    Metafile seems a proper medium. Does anyone know there is a
    metafile interpreter exist on other UNIX machine for the Virtual
    Device Metafile?

 3) I have tried to cu a metafile to another UNIX machine but fail in
    the middle. I think it is because the metafile contains some binary
    data. According to the manual, Virtual Device Metafile is a ANSI
    standard metafile. Can somebody tell me what is a ANSI standard
    metafile?

 4) Does anyone know the format of the Virtual Device Metafile?

 Thanks in advance.
