- Surely. It's on ftp.arc.umn.edu (really pi1.arc.umn.edu) and is
- contained in a larger release known as gvl.tar.Z. The gvl stands
- for graphics and visualization lab or something like that. There
- are some other tools that go with it including a colormap editor
- and some movie playing tools.
-
- It is UofMN work, under contract with the U.S. Army. Very good software.
-
- Caution: Don't try the program for 1 hour, and then give up on it
- because you don't have it figured out yet. Your patiences will be
- rewarded.
