Dennette, t'aint quite true that GSX was a CP/M only product. An outfit called "Machine Algorithms" in Boulder (CO) developed a DOS version back in 1984 for use in its rather nice R'bow specific Tektronix emulator known as GTM-10; I still use this occasionally at home to get graphics output from my office VAX. And there was a European (Swiss?) GOTELO game that came with a DOS version of GSX (though with only a single driver for a medium res color monitor) that seemed to have gone over the fence from one of the European DEC sites — those folks did lots more with graphics than here — and I still have a copy if anyone has a nostalgic interest…Steve

Thnx, Steve… I _do_ remember coming across an MS-DOS version, but could never get the HIRES or LA50 device drivers to work with it, and since GSX on the 'Bow looked like a dead-end, I never played with it much. By then I was too much into the "direct" approach to grafix on the 'Bow. Dennette
