GKS for Linux?

GKS for Linux?

GKS for Linux?

(OP)
I'm porting software written in Fortran77from an "old" Digital Alpha running Ultrix to a PC running Linux SUSE 7.0. The sofware uses the Graphical Kernel System for visualisation of results. I tried to use xgks but had some problems. Does anyone has some experience with this?

I would appreciate it a lot.

RE: GKS for Linux?

(OP)
We eventually bought commercial software as the porting would have taken me several months full time work. I am still interested in the subject though (and still plan to do this in my spare time one day). I also wondered if it would be possible to write a sort of interface, translating the GKS commands in the code into, for example, OpenGL commands. If I'm not mistaken, GKS and GL are slightly related to each other.
