For information about Year 2000 compliance, see Software Requirements Operating System OpenVMS Alpha, Version 6.2 or subsequent versions (excluding Version 7.0) 1

2 Hardware Requirements Machines Supported All OpenVMS Alpha systems supported by Digital Equipment Corporation that run under the OpenVMS systems listed above. Media Devices Supported CD-ROM drives for read access All standard OpenVMS-supported type and disk media Distribution Media CD-ROM Memory Requirements OpenVMS Alpha installation requires 64 MB of real memory to run SAS software. In addition, the user AUTHORIZE process parameters for WSDEFAULT=1024, WSQUOTA=4096, and WSEXTENT=16384 (or bigger) for each SAS software user must be set. The value of WSEXTENT cannot be greater than the SYSGEN parameter WSMAX. If you want to make an increase in WSEXTENT, you need to make a corresponding increase in WSMAX.

For additional information on these drivers, contact SAS Institute Technical Support. Terminals and Displays SAS/GRAPH software supports graphics display on graphics terminals from DEC, Tektronix, HP, and on X Windows terminals. SAS/GRAPH software also supports graphics emulators that emulate any of the above terminals. Note the use of the SAS/GRAPH graphics editor requires an X Windows display or X Windows emulation software. Plotters SAS/GRAPH software provides device drivers for all HP plotters supporting HP-GL or HP-GL/2, and plotters from other manufacturers that support the HP-GL or HP-GL/2 language. SAS/GRAPH software also supports Houston Instruments plotters using the DMPL language and ZETA plotters that support the GML language. 13

14 Film Recorders SAS/GRAPH software provides device drivers that support the following film recorders: General Parametrics Videoshow display system Genigraphics Masterpiece Camera System with SCODL interface Lasergraphics MPS 2000 film recorder with a Lasergraphics UI-100 or RASCOL rasterizer Matrix QCR and PCR cameras with Matrix QVP, MVP, or Lasergraphics rasterizers Polaroid Palette CI-3000 and CI-5000 Presentation Technologies Montage film recorder Support may be available for other film recorders not listed here. For details, contact SAS Institute Technical Support. Interfaces to Other Graphics Software Included with SAS/GRAPH software is a series of drivers that can produce Computer Graphics Metafiles (CGM) in binary, character, and clear-text formats. These drivers can be used to transfer SAS/GRAPH output to other products that support CGM input, such as Word for Windows, WordPerfect for Windows, Harvard Graphics, and Lotus Freelance, or to devices that can process CGM input. SAS/GRAPH software can also generate encapsulated PostScript vector files, which can be exported to word processing packages such as Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, and several others. Many other graphics and word processing applications can process files in Hewlett-Packard (HP-GL) format. The HPGL driver can be used to produce files that can be transferred to most applications that can process HP-GL files. SAS/GRAPH software can also export graphics in the following formats: BMP - Microsoft Windows Bitmap EPS - Encapsulated PostScript GIF - Graphics Interchange Format PPM - Portable Pixmap PS - PostScript Bitmap TIF - Tagged Image File Format PCL Printer Control Language In addition, SAS/GRAPH software can import graphics in the following formats: BMP - Microsoft Windows Bitmap CGM Computer Graphics Metafile EPS - Encapsulated PostScript GIF - Graphics Interchange Format PBM - Portable Bitmap PCX - PC PaintBrush PGM - Portable Graymap PNM - Portable Anymap PPM - Portable Pixmap TGA - Targa format TIF - Tagged Image File Format XBM - X11 Bitmap XPM - X11 Pixmap XWD - X Window Dump Image December 16, OpenVMS Alpha, Release 6.12 (TS065)

15 Writing Your Own Device Driver SAS Institute s Metagraphics driver facility can be used to develop driver support for virtually any device you choose. The Metagraphics driver facility is device-intelligent and supports most hardware features. A user-written program is required to translate the metafile into the appropriate graphics language recognized by the hardware. SAS/GRAPH software will, optionally, perform device I/O. For details, contact SAS Institute Technical Support. The Macintosh Meta Application The Macintosh Meta Application is a free program that can be installed on your Macintosh. A metafile produced by the SAS/GRAPH Metagraphics driver can be transferred to the Macintosh from your host system and viewed on the screen. Images can then be stored in PICT or clipboard format to be used by other applications or printed on an attached Apple LaserWriter (or compatible) printer. Images can be saved into the Macintosh clipboard and used by MacDraw and other Macintosh packages. For details, contact SAS Institute Technical Support.
