VAX GKS Docs available

27 Mar 2000

...
  I have a
complete doc set for the VAX GKS software (whatever
the heck it is)  
 Graphics Kernel System, maybe?  Sounds dimly familiar from the Core
 graphics library for the Pro, unless I'm confusing it with something else.

GKS is a 2D graphics package developed in the late 1970s.  It is
a vector based package, and based on display lists.  It was later
replaced by PHIGS, which is a 3D grapics package.  PHIGS and Core
have similar functionality, but are quite different in their internal
details.
