The SEEDIS PROFILE and DISPLAY modules are no longer supported. However you can try to use them if you wish.
The PROFILE and DISPLAY modules are described in a 1983 SEEDIS workbook. There are two copies at LBL and you may borrow one temporarily, long enough to Xerox what you need. There are copies at UC DATA also.
It is not recommended to copy the entire SEEDIS workbook. The workbook is two inches thick. Though not out of date, most of it concerns old display software (CARTE, CHART) which has been superseded by (much) better PC and MS-Windows programs. Source code for CARTE and CHART is no longer available.
CARTE and CHART expect older graphic devices like a Tektronix 4010 or 4014, not Xwindows or Postscript drivers. There is a bug in the SEEDIS 4014 display software: the SEEDIS 4014 drivers will work with a physically connected 4014, and with some but not all 4014 emulation software.
To our knowledge the SEEDIS 4010 drivers will work with the 4010 emulation in Kermit.
To our knowledge the SEEDIS 4014 drivers will not work with xterm 4014 emulation software under Xwindows, but you are welcome to try. If you can make it work under Xwindows that is important new information and we would like to be informed.
