- gplot is a free collection of packages available from PSC to
- manipulate CGM files and render them for arbitrary output
- devices.
- Supported devices include Postscript, Tektronix, and X. Source:
- anonymous ftp tar file from calpe.psc.edu, in pub/gplot. Gplot
- does not as yet run on a Macintosh, but it will run on most VMS
- and Unix systems. Sources are in pub/gplot/src. For inclusion
- in a mail distribution list, send mail to welling@psc.edu or
- andrews@psc.edu Some difficulty encountered converting MacDraw
- II PICT files
- - Standard statistics - still no consensus
- - efforts to cohere contact databases; Is whois up to date? Up
- to site administrators to make sure! Make sure there is an
- in-addr entry for your net, not just for hosts! -> reverse
- lookup for 128.182.0.0, 192.5.146.0, etc.

- o Gene Hastings volunteered PSC to produce case histories of
- interesting or anomalous problems from their experience
- o Matt Mathis: whatUs happening with the phasing out of Net 10?
- Terrestrial Wideband showed up on a traceroute test from Cambridge
- Mailbridge to CMU carrying production traffic?
- o Milo: Some gateways are dumb. There are no administrative routing
- controls within Wideband-Net.
- o HWB: Recent change in NSFNET<>MILNET announcements leads to direct
- routes within MILNET/ARPANET being preferred to NSFNET routes. For
- networks directly connected to MILNET and its close relatives, like
- Wideband.
-
-
- It was observed that the change in NSFNET<>MILNET announcements makes
- sense, but means that network managers directly connected to MILNET or
- an experimental net like Wideband need to understand this and bias their
- own announcements to suit their policies.
