- Well, there's a bit of a mystery here. First, SGI wasn't around in 1974
- (I believe they were formed in 1982). Second, the file "forms.h" and
- variable/structure FL_OBJECT sounds very suspiciously like the Forms
- Library written by Mark Overmars of the Utrecht University in the Netherlands.
- The Forms Library is less than two years old. The other variable
- you mentioned, FL_FORMAT, is not a Forms Library variable however.
- If you decide it is indeed the Forms Library, you can find the latest
- version by using anonymous ftp at sol.cs.ruu.nl in the /pub/SGI/FORMS
- directory.
