He was/is active in the local SIGGRAPH chapter, so get in touch with him. It was based on his GRASS. I believe that Copper Giloth may have had something yo do with its development as well. ZGRASS was very BASIC-like in its syntax and semantics, with the addition of a lot of special keywords for doing graphics operations. That was back when everyone thought BASIC was a good language for novice computer users to learn. -- Michael Sierchio @ MCC Software Technology Program UUCP: ut-sally!im4u!milano!sierchio ARPA: sierchio@mcc.ARPA "WE REVERSE THE RIGHT TO SERVE REFUSE TO ANYONE"
