- Does anybody know of where I can find some routines to convert the IEEE

- It turns out that the GDF file produced by graPHIGS (and AIXWindows 3D)
- is written in EBCDIC and 370 floating point...

- Try "dd conv=ibm ... " to get out of EBCDIC. Good luck w/the 370 FP

- IBM mailed me a copy of AIXWindows 3D w/AIC now you made me afraid to
- load the LPP. I think I'll wait until IBM learns how to write a
- removable LPP (like I can) before installing it.
