XGKS is an implementation of the ANSI  Graphical  Kernel  System for use 
with the  X Window System.  XGKS  was  developed at  the  University  of 
Illinois, Urbana, Illinois, and  supported by IBM ACIS. After being made 
freely available in the  X11R4 distribution,  XGKS  was  adopted  by the 
Unidata Program Center (UPC). Maintenance of XGKS by the Unidata Program
Center is supported by the National Science Foundation.

XGKS is an  implementation  of  the  ANSI  Graphical  Kernel  System  as  
defined  by  the  functional description and the draft  1988  C language
binding.  Thus, the  ultimate   reference  for  any  programmer is the C 
binding manual which details the data types and functions available. 

XGKS  is   a level  2C  implementation  of  the  GKS  specification.  It 
supports REQUEST, SAMPLE, and EVENT input  modes  for  all  six  logical
input devices, workstation independent segment storage, and metafiles.

A mutual-aid society, electronic mailing-list  exists. Requests to  join
should be sent to xgks-request@unidata.ucar.edu [128.117.140.3].
