Conversion of a Fortran Data Plotting Program Using DI-3000 Graphics to Operation on a Macintosh Personal Computer.

摘要

The planned retirement of the Elxsi 6400 mainframe computer at ARL has necessitated the conversion of the general purpose Fortran data plotting program TRANS to operation on a Macintosh IIfx personal computer, where it has been renamed MacTRANS. The conversion has included the limited use of regular Macintosh features such as pull down menus, and allowed the plots produced by MacTRANS to be edited in most commercial Macintosh graphics programs. For most cases, the execution speed of MacTRANS on the Macintosh IIfx has been found to be faster than that of TRANS on the Elxsi.
