PLOT88 Specifications

PLOT88 Operating Environment

Minimum Hardware Configuration:
  • For MicroSoft Operating Systems: IBM-PC * , IBM-XT * , IBM-AT * , IBM-PS/2 * or compatibles, 80386-,80486-, or Pentium-based PC
  • Minimum 512 K bytes RAM (varies with subroutines used) for MS FORTRAN 4 ( 128 MB for 32 bit compilers)
  • Intel 8087, 80287 or 80387 Coprocessor  for MS FORTRAN 4
  • For SUN Operating Systems: SUN SPARCstation with SUN Solaris 2.X
  • For Red Hat Operating Systems: Pentium Based PC
  • One Hard Disk drive
  • CDROM drive

Required Software:

  • PC-DOS 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4.0, 5.0, or 6.X  with the following compiler

    • Microsoft FORTRAN v 4.01, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1, or 5.2 
     
  • Windows 95, 98,  NT, 2000, or XP with one of the following compilers:
  • Microsoft FORTRAN v 4.01, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1, or 5.2 or
  • Microsoft Power Station FORTRAN v 1.0 or 4.0 (4.0 with Windows 95, 98, NT , or  2000 only)
  • Compaq Digital Visual FORTRAN v 5.0, v 6.0, 6.1, 6.5, or 6.6 ( Using MicroSoft PowerStation Mode)(Windows 95, 98, NT , or 2000 only)

    •  
    or
     
  • SUN Operating Systems: SUN FORTRAN  2.0, 3.0, or 4.0 and C  or
  • Red Hat Operating Systems: GNU FORTRAN  0.5.26 (Red Hat 7.2 OS)  or  3.2.2 ( Red Hat 9.0 OS ) and GNU gcc C

Supported Graphics Devices

Drivers for all of the following devices are provided. All output for the Red Hat and SUN versions of PLOT88 is to a file, not directly to the device. PLOT88 for MicroSoft PowerStation V 4.0 or Compaq Digital Visual FORTRAN V 5.0 use the print spooler to output to printers in Windows 95, 98, 2000, or NT. The same compilers use API32 calls to sends data to the plotters (serial ports). All others versions of PLOT88 use DOS interrupts to output to the printers or plotters.
