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...
Myles,
Are you sure this is an inkjet ink? It looks more like a dry toner for copiers.
If you want specific info on inkjet inks, try searching www.delphion.com for some patents. I believe you have to pay now to see the complete patent text but at least you can get started with the first page...

Also, when setting available screen sizes (640X480...
I always use the GNU fortran compiler G77 (standard available in any linux distribution) . For as far as I know, this is one of the most stable compilers. If you don't have linux machines, you can always download cygwin (www.cygwin.com). This is some sort of UNIX-like API that you can run from...
