Randy, I would love to see both Versaplot and MOVIE.BYU!  A coworker
ported MOVIE.BYU to the ESV when I worked at E&S :-).

There is also PLOT10 the Tektronix plotting package.  Then there are
the standards based things like CORE, GKS, PHIGS, PHIGS-PLUS.  I got a
giant pile of GKS for VMS manuals in a VAX/VMS doc set that I
purchased off ebay (12 cardboard boxes of manuals).  I have an Evans &
Sutherland ESV workstation that does PEX and graphics terminals from
Tektronix, HP and Megatek.  I have an HP graphics generator that
attaches to an oscilloscope.  I have the requisite SGI machines too:
Personal Iris, Indigo, Indigo^2, Indy, Onyx, and Onyx2.
