Hi friends, I'm Jim Ward and I'm new here. I worked for Prime Engineering in MA from '75 to '79, then served as Prime's western region OS guy in Palo Alto in '79 and '80. (I hired on at Apollo in late '80.)

One of my more obscure engineering projects was creating plotting software for Tektronix storage displays and Versatek plotters called DIPLOT, which shipped around '76, possibly in Rev 9. Some friends and I have stumbled upon a set of (binary) plotter data files that I'm certain DIPLOT produced. We've mostly sussed out the format, but not completely so.

So, if anyone has a handle on the source for this package—or its PE-T—I'd love to have a look at it.

Cheers!
