We have a double precision version of NCAR Graphics available for Suns
and SGIs. Basically we took the code and ran it through a
float-to-double converter. You won't need to change any of your
graphics calls, but you will need to have your data in double
precision and all reals passed to the routines have to be 8 bytes
(either from C or Fortran codes).

If you are interested in this version and are already licensed for
NCAR Graphics Version 4.0.1, then have your NCAR Graphics site installer
send us email and we'll get you a double precision version.
