Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) announces the release of XMTV,
a graphics server for LAM.  The software is available in source
code form under the terms of the GNU general license (V2).
Distribution is via anonymous ftp from tbag.osc.edu (pub/lam).

XMTV is an X/Motif-based graphics client/server package that
emulates a frame buffer.  It is implemented on top of LAM, a UNIX
cluster computing environment.  It provides an easy to use, low
cost alternative for run-time visualization of computation results.

The XMTV client library can be used by MPI (and PVM) applications
under LAM, from C and Fortran.  It provides a simple interface to
plot coloured data frames.  The XMTV server can be run on any node
in the multicomputer.  The graphics calls locate and direct their
requests to the proper destination.

The LAM team would like to hear from you and get feedback on possible
XMTV extensions your applications need.

The factory default software supports the following platforms:

	Sun 4 (sparc), SunOS 4.1.3
	Sun 4 (sparc), Solaris 2.3
	SGI IRIX 4.0.5
	IBM RS/6000, AIX v3r2
	DEC AXP, OSF/1 V2.0
	HP 9000/755, HP-UX 9.01

XMTV works with LAM 5.2 or later.

A set of manual pages covering the XMTV server and the client calls
is included.
