.ce ******************* KHOROS ********************** .sp 2 .LP The Vision Lab at the University of New Mexico announces the open distribution of the Khoros system (Beta release)! .SH INTRODUCTION .PP Khoros is an integrated software development environment for information processing and visualization, based on X11R4. Khoros components include a visual programming language, code generators for extending the visual language and adding new application packages to the system, an interactive user interface editor, an interactive image display package, an extensive library of image and signal processing routines, and 2D/3D plotting packages. .SH SYSTEM COMPONENTS .sp .B X Windows Applications .R .IP Cantata - Extensible Visual Programming Language .br Editimage - Interactive Image Display & Manipulation Program .br Animate - Interactive Image Sequence Display Tool .br Xprism2 and xprism3 - Comprehensive 2D and 3D Plotting Packages .sp .LP .B Image & Signal Processing Algorithms .R .IP The library of algorithms contains over 220 programs, in the following categories: arithmetic, classification, color conversion, data conversion, file format conversion, feature extraction, frequency filtering, spatial filtering, morphology filtering, geometric manipulation, histogram manipulation, statistics, signal generation, linear operations, segmentation, spectral estimation, subregion, and transforms. .sp .LP .B User Interface Tools .R .IP Preview - Graphical User Interface Display Tool .br Composer - Interactive Graphical User Interface Editor .br Conductor - Code Generation Tool for a Graphical User Interface .br Ghostwriter - Code Generation Tool for a Command Line User Interface .br Source Configuration & Management Tools .sp 2 .SH KHOROS DISTRIBUTION METHODS .sp .B 1) Anonymous FTP .R .PP Khoros is available via anonymous ftp from pprg.unm.edu (129.24.13.10). Use your e-mail address as the password (for example, herman@football.wmu.edu). Once you have logged in, cd to the "pub/khoros" directory and get the ascii file RELEASE_NOTES.ftp. This file will give you complete instructions on how to get Khoros and install it on your system. To get this file, execute the following commands or steps: .IP "a."

Please remember, this is a BETA release; the final release will be complete in January 1991. There will be no support or updates provided for the beta release. .SH KHOROS REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS .PP To run Khoros, you must have a UNIX platform running the X11R3, X11R4, or OpenWindows servers. The Khoros system consists of ~350,000 lines of C code; it requires ~100 Meg for storage for source, documentation and binaries. To compile Khoros, the system requires X11R4 from MIT (patch levels 1-18), and an additional ~30 Meg of storage. .sp .PP If you have questions or problems, mail rasure@bullwinkle.unm.edu. Once you have the system and want to report bugs or comments, mail khoros-bugs@bullwinkle.unm.edu. .sp 2 .LP UNIX is a trademark of AT&T Bell Laboratories. .br The X Window System is a trademark of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. .br SunOS is a trademark for Sun Microsystems. .br Ultrix is a trademark of Digital Equipment Corporation. .bp .sp 3 .ce 5 KHOROS Room 110 Department of EECE University of New Mexico Albuquerque, NM 87131 .DS SHIP TO: ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ PHONE NUMBER: ___________________________________________________________ E-MAIL ADDRESS: ___________________________________________________________ PURCHASE ORDER NUMBER: ___________________________________________________________ Media: (Please circle one of the following types of media) 1) SUN3 cartridge (DC600A tape) 2) SUN4 cartridge (DC6150 tape) 3) 9-track tape (1/2 inch) 4) DEC TK50 tape 5) DEC TK70 tape Binaries: (If you would like a compiled version of Khoros, please circle one of the following machine architectures) 1) DEC VAX (Ultrix 3.1) 2) DEC MIPS (Ultrix 3.1) 3) SUN3 (SunOS 4.0.3) 4) SUN4 (SunOS 4.0.3) .DE
