Cain) Organization: D'Arcy Cain Consulting, West Hill, Ontario There is no file format called GKS. GKS (Graphics Kernel System) is closely related to the CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) standard however. This is probably what you are looking for. If so they are available from ANSI. The relevant documents are: ISO8632-1 Part 1: Functional Specification ISO8632-2 Part 2: Character Encoding ISO8632-3 Part 3: Binary Encoding ISO8632-4 Part 4: Clear Text Encoding. And can be ordered from: Canadian Standards Association Sales Group 178 Rexdale Blvd. Rexdale, Ontario, M9W 1R3 (416) 747-4044 You colonials can get it from ANSI, American National Standards Institute Sales Department 1430 Broadway New York, NY, 10018 (212) 642-4900 If you want information on the GKS standard (It is a specification of the input and output primitives for displaying 2D graphical data.) you can get it from the same place. The relevant documents are: ISO 7942 Functional Specification ISO 8651-1 Fortran Binding ISO 8651-2 Pascal Binding ISO 8651-3 Ada Binding ISO 8651-4 Don't know. Might be C but does someone know?
