7.0. "Euclid on 3520/3540?" by 60666::FERGUSON () Mon Apr 24 1989 01:11

    Hello there fellow Euclidians.
    
    My name is Barry Ferguson and I am the Industrial Sales Support
    Manager for SPR based in Melbourne Australia.
    
    We have been working with the Australian distributor for Euclid
    for approximately 12 months now and are starting to make some positive
    inroads into the Australian CAD/CAM/NC market place with 2 customer
    sites operational and a number of others about to come on line before
    the close of FY89.
    
    Unfortunately,due to the tyranny of distance,news sometimes can
    take a long time to filter down to us.
    
    Can anybody provide an answer to the following ?
    
    Have any of you seen or worked with Euclid on the 3520/3540 ?
    
    If so,I would be interested to read of your observations and comments.
    
    Thanks and Regards,
    
    Barry.

7.1	Euclid on a Firefox	CUBICB::BARKER		`Mon Apr 24 1989 17:23`	14
	We have a Firefox here but ran into a small glitch in that Euclid only runs under VWS [ DEC windows is coming soon ] and firefox only runs under DECwindows [ no VWS support]. We are trying to get a backdoor copy of VWS that runs on a Firefox. Matra was to demo Euclid on a Firefox last week with a partial DEC windows interface. I am seeing Matra tomorrow and will report the status. Today we are running GPXs client-server on a 6260 soon to be a 6460 and it runs great just using thge GPX for display. The only disadvantage the GPX is no dynamic rotation of shaded images. Thanks Charlie
7.2	THANKS	60666::FERGUSON		`Mon Apr 24 1989 23:34`	8
	Hello Charlie and thanks for the quick response. I look forward to hearing from you after your visit to Matra. Thanks and Regards, Barry.
7.3	More on Firefoxes	CUBICB::BARKER		`Wed Apr 26 1989 07:18`	11
	I talked to Matra yesterday and their plan is to support Firefoxes by the end of May. The inital support will have the PHIGS graphics interface but probably not the full XUI environment with all the pretty new icons. The software is being done by the US group and we are high on their list to get a copy. I will post a note when we get it and have it running. Thanks Charlie
7.4	FIREFOX INFORMATION	60666::FERGUSON		`Thu Apr 27 1989 05:19`	6
	Hello Charlie, I look forward to reading your note and thanks once again from Downunder. Regards , Barry.
7.5		MECAD::DENNERLEIN	Go Fast and Turn Left	`Fri Jun 02 1989 13:35`	3
	I'm just curious, is Euclid using Phigs to do it's graphic work? Jesse
7.6	Euclid and Phigs	CUBICB::BARKER		`Fri Jun 02 1989 17:22`	8
	There is a version coming over the summer that will support firefox that utilizes Phigs and part of windows . The initial offering will retain the existing feel of Euclid . Matra's plans are to migrate to the windows look and feel over time. Today Euclid is VWS based and runs fine under 3.3 and 4.0 . thanks Charlie
7.7	EUCLID ON FIREFOX	RTOEU::WENGEMANN	WILLI J. ENGEMANN	`Mon Jun 12 1989 16:05`	12
	Hallo, I'm Willi Engemann , German ACT in Munich. I'm in contact with MATRA, Paris for the development of EUCLID-EDCS interface, called EDMF. There is a version of EUCLID running on the firefox, but at the moment their are some problems. The version will be avaiable at the end of summer. Regards, Willi
