        We have not ported NCAR Graphics to a WinNT or Win95 platform.
        We do have a Linux port and are working on a Solaris PC port.

        We have had a lot of interest in a WinNT port and have decided
        that after Version 4.1 which will feature a full GUI, we will
        seriously look at such a port. Our feeling is that PC users
        will expect GUI based graphics.

        We would not discourage anyone who wanted to port our low level
        libraries. The source code of these libraries is included with
        your distribution. However, we unfortunately do not have the
        time to be of much help in such an effort.

        If you do tackle this effort, PLEASE let us know how it goes.

        Thanks for your continued interest in NCAR Graphics. I have
        added you to a growing list of users interested in PC versions
        of NCAR Graphics. We will try to keep you and ncarg-talk
        appraised of any developments in this regard.
