- I just called ANSI and got a price of $65 for ISO 8632-4 (1992), or at least I
- think that's what he said. Any idea what the difference between "-1" and "-4"
- is?
-
- On a related note, does anyone know where one might find some source code that
- generates CGM output, and some sample CGM output. The idea being to acquire
- enough information to figure out how to generate CGM out of code that I might
- write. Or should the standards document do that?
