Hi Ken,

  I'd be interested in doing some porting work on the Alpha platform. If his
machine will be on the internet I'd been happy to get an account on it to do
some remote work on Geomview. I'm not sure if Dec has some graphics toolkit
that takes better advantage of the graphics acceleration than X11... seem to
remember hearing they had OpenGL on that platform. Hopefully Minnegraphics
(gl) may be ported to do OpenGL sometime in the near future...
