ZGRASS was the brainchild of Tom DeFanti in Chicago -- I believe he's still
there.  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.
